Just checking in to tell you guys that I followed up on a couple of leads today, but, it didn't lead to my baby. I got a call from 2 people that got handed one of my flyer's. Ironically, both people lived within 4 houses from each other approximately a mile southeast from my house. They said they couldn't SEE the bird, but, could HEAR him "squawking away", they said it doesn't sound like any of the native birds. So, I got the addresses and drove over, I knew right away it wasn't Maui, because, I the first lady was standing outside waiting for me and when I got out, I said, the other woman is on her way here too, she just lives 4 houses down from here and right then she says "SEE, did you hear that? shhhh, listen close" THAT bird starting chattering again and she was right, it definitely wasn't a native dove, cardinal, blue jay, etc... It was for sure a parrot of some sort, so I kept listening and listening and grabbed my binoculars, even though I knew the noises he was making wasn't my Maui bird, I was super curious, because, it didn't sound like a cockatiel or a sun conure or parakeet or a cockatoo, etc.. It took me a few to get the visual, but, I finally did and it was....... A little Quaker Parrot, all by his lonesome, I tried to get him to come down, but, he wanted no part of it. Also, for whatever reason, we have a plethora of Quakers around here where I live, so, it could have even been born wild, but, I thought I'd try to get him down just in case he was somebody's baby.
So, it was pretty encouraging that the lady's both called me, even though it wasn't Maui, it gave me the hope that people wouldn't just dismiss it if the saw or heard something a little different and that could be Maui, they would actually call. So that made me feel good.
BUT, NO MAUI, NOT YET ANYWAYS....... KEEP ON PRAYING GUYS, I KNOW ALL OF OUR PRAYERS ARE KEEPING BABY MAUI SAFE!!!!!
