Lost macaw in Moab?

[YUMgrinder]

Anyone know of a lost macaw in Moab Utah? I got a grainy video from my ex-wife in Tennessee with an attachment from her mother in Utah showing what appears to be a blue and gold macaw hanging out on their camper all night.

Can they not try to catch the bird, if it has a microchip it can be reunited very easily. A leg ring/band is also useful identifying info but shouldn't be put up on a forum.
It is probably hungry if been out for a while and food will be the temptation. it would be fantastic to reunite someone's lost feathered baby.

So I searched for lost macaw in moab on facebook and got a hit from someone who lost their hybrid last year, I called them and it wasn't theirs but they knew a bunch of people in Utah with macaws and got a hold of them. They were able to identify the gps tag on its tail and it is so unique they couldn't be wrong. Apparently, they are developing a gps for flighted birds and they couldn't get a solid signal with the gps. They also knew the location and the timeframe matched when it was found.

They even have a facebook page called flying colors aviary. I'm so glad I was able to get Delilah back to her owners. Such an strange, interesting story I will tell forever.

Awesome! You should be proud for helping reunite a lost macaw. What a huge relief for all involved, even if the bird doesn't quite understand!!
