lost lilly

[Wolf]

Have you tried asking people in the neighborhood if they may have seen her?

[AnimalAffinity]

Well we had the fire dept out here trying to get her out of a tall tree the first day and they were asking questions.

[Wolf]

Not the same thing and you will reach more of them if you will show them a picture of the bird and ask for their help in finding it.

[AnimalAffinity]

It's been so cold I'm afraid I'm looking for a corpse

[Wolf]

Or you may find her and prevent this from occurring, but not if you don't keep looking. If you give up before knowing then you pretty much guarantee that there will be a corpse that didn't have to be.
This little bird is counting on you for its very life, you are supposed to be its friend and caregiver, why are you playing with its life in this manner?

[AnimalAffinity]

What are you talking about " playing with its life" I've been missing school so I can sit in the snow and call for my bird.

[Wolf]

Why would you sit in the snow when you see that your bird is not there, why are you not walking and looking and talking to people that might have seen and possibly rescued your bird? You will never find it by sitting in the snow. Please wake up and start seriously looking for the bird. It is what I would be doing as well as putting up fliers with the birds picture on it and a way to contact you. Get a public service announcement on all of the local radio stations if you can. This is what I mean. I really want you to get your bird back ,but I am hundreds of miles away and I can't do it for you. When was the last time you found anything by sitting in one place? Come on think , get creative your bird is depending on you.

She might have come down to another house. Once, years ago, when I was feeding my bird their dinner, I saw a bit of yellow on a window and, when I looked closely, I realized that it was a budgie on the outside of the window. I had a devil of a time getting him to come in because I was afraid to open the window and that my birds would fly out and he would fly away every time I approached it so I crawled on my hands and knees to right under the window, put some seed on the sill and barely opened it a crack while watching, from the floor, that none of my birds was getting close to it and he came in! And I recently took in another budgie that a couple had found in a park so she might have been saved by somebody else...

There are stories of people finding birds in the snow. The owner must have given up looking. They could not find it's home.

[Pajarita]

In all honesty, you hardly ever find a lost budgie. You can find a sennie, a zon, a gray, a too and even a tiel (sometimes and only when they are not very good at flying and you still have the mate), but you never find a budgie UNLESS you still have the mate (and by mate I mean mate and not companion), it's breeding season and they can still hear it calling because budgies tend to fly above the canopy (very dangerous thing to do), fast and far, they just don't stay in the area like larger parrots do.
