Hi linq,

My dad lives in Southampton and lost his parrot about 3 days before Christmas. Could you contact me please about the parrot you found, our lost parrot is called emerald- she is green, I have photos of her. She doesn't talk, but will whistle the Adams family. Please could you contact me if this sounds like the one you have found. Thank you very much phillipa

Sorry- I have just seen that the owner has been found.

Our parrot is a green Senegal called emerald- if anyone knows if anyone who may have seen her- lost 3 days before Christmas in Bassett , Southampton area.

Thank you

Hi linq,

That's lovely news to hear they were reunited so quickly.

We have put up lost notices but no luck so far. Hopefully she is safe somewhere.

Best wishes,

Phillipa

Some ones baby monkey ran off last week. The local news station has been running "lost pet" reports on it. It was found wanting into a house a mile from home.

Contact your local TV station.

Lin, ya'll are such wonderful people, in looking after the lost and found parrot, and trying to re-unite the parrot with it's owner! MAJOR HUGS!!!!!!

Parrot found (then give the name of the town). His owner will be searching and answering any add that it could possibly be. All others will ask you what kind you found.

This is very, very good.

Also used to "properly" identify parrots, is to ask the person (once live contact on phone with them), to tell you "identifying" marks on the parrot, in order to "prove" that the parrot is really theirs, etc. But not to let this information out "in the public". Get it?

Do not give descriptive information publically.

If he has a band around one of his legs, write down the number on the band and if an owner claims the bird, ask him the number, if he doesn't know it he probably won't own the bird (unless he forgets it). Also, if the bird actually likes an owner that claims him, then it is probably their bird. Good luck!

Excellent. And the band number should not be given pubically or posted as well.
