Kimijean Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 CAG He was in my bedroom on the play stand and I had gone into the kitchen. I heard him fly and "crash land" and went to go check on him. He apparently hit the screen and it fell out. I'm in a second floor apartment and I looked down and saw him on the ground. I ran out, down, and around the building. I came around the corner slowly while talking to him and just as I was almost close enough to get him he flew off. I can't stop crying.

judygram Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I am so sorry to hear about this but quit crying and do what you must to bring him back into the flock, spread the word, put up flyers, have all the neighbors be on the lookout for him, notify any vets in your area in case he is found and brought in and keep searching. Put his cage outside with some food and water in it, place it where he can easily see it if he is in the immediate area as he might come to it when he gets hungry, go out and call for him using words he usually reponds to, he is probably close by but is being cautious since he is in unfamiliar territory but never give up. I hope to hear any day now that he has returned or someone has found him but keep the faith that Xandir will once again rejoin his flock, good luck to you.

Wingy Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Judy's advice is spot on. Take stacks of photo flyers to the local post offices and ask the carriers to be on the look out. Do the same with the police, fire department, vets offices, animal control, pet shops, and anything to do with animals or birds found in your telephone book. You all are in my prayers.

danmcq Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) So sorry to hear this. Just keep searching and calling for him. Look under bushes, plants etc. I don't know how much he could gain, but probably not much from your flight description. IN addition to the good advice Judy gave, post on craigs list http://www.craigslist.org/about/sites and http://www.911parrotalert.com/ Edited June 13, 2012 by danmcq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Go do every thing you can to recover him safely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Great advice already given. Just get out there and calmly look for Xandir. Mornings and evenings/dinnertime are the times birds are most active looking for food. Take his favorite foods and calmly call to him with words he will recognize, Alert all the neighbors and don't give up. Spend some time sitting outside and see if he will come to you. Just don't give up and be brave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katana600 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 It is such a shock and horror to see your baby in this circumstance. My heart goes out to you, I can't come close to imagining what you are going through. I hope you get some good news soon and get Xandir back at home.

TWIX Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Oh! I am so sorry to hear that, just keep it up and don't give up looking for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimijean Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 No news. I've been posting on every lost & found website I can find. I paid $60 to Pet Amber Alert for them to create a poster and fax it to 50 business in my area. I contacted both humane societies in my area, the bird store down the street, and the only bird only avian vet in the area...... Walking the area, talking with neighbors, will put up fliers......

Greywings Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Ask the local kids to let you know if they see him, good eyes and a small reward helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Okay. This is my specialty, since I have lost many a dog. Pullup a map of your area and within two miles each direction. Contact your local boyscouts, ask for their help. Contact all vets, animal hospitals, including crossing county lines. Contact your local news, ask for their help. Most birds, won't go far. Go door to door, two blocks away, in all direction. Get your community involved. I( have lost three senior dogs, who managed to get quite far. I am happy to say, I found them all. Only thru the help of my community. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayd Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Hi sweet lady. Stretch your search to include community to increase a minimum of 30 miles a day. The variables are, Wind, Temperature, Food and how sociable your baby is. A Grey on high can see farther then we can imagine, please don't limit yourself to just your neighborhood, were searching up to a hundred mile and more for Spock. Grey's and parrots in general are unique unto themselves, unlike any other animal because they can reason. Never give up hope, your doing everything right..... Our prayers are with you.

Wingy Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Widening your search area is a good idea. This is the time of year when people are doing things outside and having get togethers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Also place his familiar cage in a high place, perhaps on the roof with food & water, also viewing the neighborhood from up high can give you a better chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffNOK Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I'm just going to pray my heart out that you get your precious Xandir back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimijean Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 No news yet but I have a friend that drives a city bus for Portland's public transportation company and she's putting fliers at every bus yard and transit center. So 100's of bus drivers will know about Xandir. She's also posting fliers all over the place like I am. | Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
