Lost and Found ?

[LindaM]

I have joined this forum hoping to get some info regarding a lost bird. I have been adopted by an african grey and I would like to find his owner. I will have him scanned for a chip tomorrow if I can get him in a smaller cage for transport. In the meantime is there a database available that lists the info on his leg band? I've checked some lost and found sites but nothing has been reported yet.

 

Thanks for you help,

We have a lost bird section and it is great that you are getting the word out. Don't know what part of Texas you are in but if you are near Houston there was a Grey or two listed as missing on Craigs List in the last week or two.

Thank you Linda for posting this lost grey. My parrots are all micro-chipped in the hopes that a finder will be as kind as you and take them in to a vet to see if they are micro-chipped. Kudoes to you for being a caring person.

Here are the ones I saw - Hope you find the right family. Good work!

I am in the DFW area and will help in any way i can. It is a wonderful thing you are doing to help this little guy find his way home! Kudos to you!

We will be scanning the bird in a few hours. Where is the chip usually placed on a bird? This promises to be an enlightening experience. This bird is not the tamest.

 

Thanks for the replies.

The chip is usually put in the breast area. I commend you for taking the time to try and find this bird's owner, they must be heartbroken not knowing if he is alive and well, lets hope his owner is found sooner rather than later.

He's been scanned and there wasn't a chip unless it's on another frequency. I can't imagine having one of these birds and not putting in a chip. The search continues.
