Thanks for taking in the second CAG and I hope it's Cookie, or if someone else's it gets home to its flock soon. Talk about a lucky CAG, found the right bird man to help him out and get some TLC.
I'm 3 hours from Houston.
Cookie's owner needs to do what I did..
Put up 100 flyers in the neighborhood. Go door to door in the area where he is likely to show up. Put an ad on craig's list and parrot 911, and walk the tree lines at first light when they vocalize...
This is the FIFTH time I've lost a parrot and gotten him back.
Shame it's too far away to be Cookie
(I don't know anything about where things are in TX, just seemed like a pretty big coincidence). I think her owner is doing all those things already too, and hopefully finds her!
I think your recovery rate is the exception. I think your birds are an exception to the typical pet parrot. You let them hang out outside everyday. They are used to the sights, smells, sounds ext... They are well socialized, and would most likely go to a stranger. That's probably why you get your birds back. Most birds who have never been outdoors outside of a cage before are probably frightened in an totally unfamiliar environment with no survival skills at all and possibly unwilling to go to strangers even if there owner was right there... We ALL need to work a little more with our birds to ensure they are equipped with some basic skills and birdie common sense should the unspeakable happen. I know I had also neglected to clip Kiwi in a while and he had a few flight feathers that grew in after his molt. I clipped him as soon as I read your post.
