Very unfortunately, and sadly, my beloved Birdie flew out the front door from across the house.
The sound of the door opening must have startled him, causing him to fly, and his route of choice was out the door.
He flew away (very quickly) to some other buildings in the neighborhood - I only saw him escaping in the distance. I chased to the area to where he headed - saw nothing. I was immediately crushed, and very upset.
I went back home for a few minutes to immediately make some flyers.
Then, I went back to the area I saw him flying towards, and searched and called - no luck.
As I went towards home, I approach my building and hear him chirping!
Ten minutes later, I found him in a palm tree, about mid-way up - about 15 feet. The tree is in the front parking area of my building. My wife was bringing me a ladder while I talked to birdie, and successfully calmed him down. He was chirping and talking back to me.
Somehow he got startled and took off again
I tried chasing him - but he "outflew" me.
I, some neighborhood friends, and my wife looked around, and saw him three times flying. At least he stayed in the neighborhood for that time.
I tirelessly continued, walking the whole neighborhood...back ways and others.
I called to him and rang a bell...no luck.
Finally and yet again unfortunately for me - sundown came. It quickly became night time, and I made my way back home.
I placed his cage outside with all openings open. He has fresh seed, water, and a huge piece of millet.
I brought a double standing lamp and put in his full spectrum light, and a regular light, in hopes of him seeing it before he packs it in for the night.
I also sprinkled seed on the sidewalk around the house so he could at least get some food (maybe...)
Please guys, I need support. Is there anything I can do to better this situation?
I am planning on staying home from work tomorrow and trying everything all over again.
There are some big lakes and ponds throughout the neighborhood - will he drink from these? Can he possibly drown? )
I am so frightened and upset and worried about my baby
I ask that everybody please keep him in your prayers
He has been my baby for 9 years - now is not his time to go.
Thank you all in advance for your support and help - along with your prayers and wishes.
