lovemyGreys Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Good question Is he still around ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I really get disappointed when a heart compelling story such as this, is never followed up on. I guess some new people that join and ask a quick question. Just do not realize how concerned and caring we are of each and every member and their dilemma, the birds and the final outcome. I think most of us worry and want to help in any way we can and hope for a good outcome. It looks like we may never know the continuation or end of this story. :-( Didn't some of you live in comparatively close proximity to this members location?

dixie Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 The current situation is that the bird is still about - only ever seen in one of the trees to our rear or on a nearby lamppost. We have only seen it a handful of times. It appears to be a good flyer. Having been free for at least 11 months would it be a good idea to reduce it to captivity having had its freedom for so long. Would a zoo be a good idea? Would they be interested. Might take so catching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Hi Dixie, Thanks for the update :-) Reducing it to captivity (which is where it came from) may cramp his present a little, but it is probably missing the companionship it once had and the great food. I am not certain in your area, but others on this forum are from your location, generally speaking and I am sure would be able to put you on the path to perhaps contacting someone that would come and capture that Grey.

Talon Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Yes, Please keep us posted. This is the most interesting story. I look forward to following the events as they unfold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdmom Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Yeah wow! I just know that poor bird must need help. I am so diappointed that it's still at large. I would have called in the fire department by now but that's just me. I mean, living in our world is like outer space to a bird like that. It could be eating bird seed from a feeder, but if the people stop putting seed in there, the food source could dry up. Maybe its been lucky so far but what if there's an electrical storm? What if it gets caught on some power lines? What if someone shoots it, you know kids sometimes do stuff like that? Or an owl could get it. There are so many things that could cause it harm. I think she should call her local newspaper or something.... no? Gosh I don't even live in the UK but I found lots of resources there, but you have to pick up the telephone right? Well maybe she did to no avail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdmom Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I have an idea. Lets name the lost little birdie. It's harder to ignore something when it has a name, because then it becomes personal to us. So I'll start: How about Winter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Good idea birdmom and a nice name. :-) How about something descriptive in the African language.. Alile - pronounced "ah-LEE-leh" meaning - She weeps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdmom Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Okay, we have a game! Alile, Winter, any other names for Dixie's lost birdie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tari Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 So its still not in a nice home? Have you tried getting the local parrot club to catch it? Our club always helps out with lose birds. Hmmm a name. Gilligan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdmom Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Thanks Tari! OK we have more names: Gilligan from Tari, Alile from Dan MCQ, Winter from Birdmom. Anybody else? Let's not forget about the lost birdie in the UK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdmom Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Gilligan Alile Winter Hope. This is my newest idea. birdmom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest briansmum Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 dixie, have you contacted the local newspapers, or local TV news, they might do a feature on it. maybe that might generate interest into helping it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookyhurst Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 My vote for the poor birdie's name is Trooper. I also like Jengo, which is African for "One with Reddish Complexion," since it probably had a pretty red tail . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
di2008 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 i think Misty is a cool name as it's probably seen lots of misty mornings in liverpool <br><br>Post edited by: di2008, at: 2008/05/24 13:03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casper Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I cant believe its survived this long, especially with our british weather. I have had a stray cat living in the garden since october and has survived the winter but for this little thing thats different. I hope its ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixie Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 Sad to say it doesn't appear to have survived the cold spell we had in March. Will let you all know if it's spotted again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
