CAG Lost!!! HELP

Postby Alexandros » Mon Jun 22, 2015 1:36 am

Hi, five days ago (Wednesday morning) my Congo African Grey escaped! :cry: :gray:. I am not sure how it happened but she got out of her cage by the water tray while she was outside in the garden. I mustn't have closed it properly or she opened it herself.

Anyway, I didn't know this till two days ago as I had gone to a hiking trip and my family took care of my birds. We have a fair amount of trees in the area and she was heard up one on the first day, she is fully flight able. Also, she doesn't have a metal ring on her foot and she was given to us by a small petshop because the owner is friends with my dad and I REALLY wanted one (want her back now too :( ). She knows how to survive in the wild and she is tame although quite hesitant with strangers. We also don't know if it's a he or a she.

We have put up flyers in the local area, told the police, told all the vets in the area (my dad was a vet but for cats and dogs only) and in the process of informing all of the petshops. I have never before felt so sad, losing a bird is something nobody deserves :cry:

BTW, I am 14yrs old.

Thanks!

No, sorry, didn't make it clear! She was found by a lady a year ago, this lady gave her to a petshop and the petshop to me! I know she knows how to survive outdoors because she was outdoors before I got her.

I really hope that you can recover her. My Grey flew one day, but I was there and was able to keep her safe from predators until I could recover her. It was one of my worst ever days and it was my fault that she flew.

Oh, my dear, so sorry about this! I hope either you or somebody else finds her fast because I would not be too sure that she knows how to survive in the wild...

Have you tried checking 911ParrotHotline?

What about checking some of the neighboring cities as well?

There isn't an option for Greece so can't use that site.
