I have been in contact with this lady via email. If anyone in MD hears anything please contact me. Thank you!

Yesterday there was a freak incident with my Grey and she got away. I was sitting in the living room and she and my Senegal were on top their cages in the kitchen. Something spooked the Grey and she flew into my "Pella Rollscreen" on my sliding door. This made the screen partially roll up. I didn't see it - I only saw that it appeared that she flew around the kitchen island and my Sennie whose wings I just clipped headed toward the living room. I think the Grey revisited the partially open screen door and left. She had just molted and we had a vet appt today and she was going to get clipped then. I am devastated and feel like I lost my kid/best friend.

If anyone sees or hears anything of a Grey found in Cockeysville close to the NCR trail please post here. I have left flyers all over my neighborhood and at the closest vet who happens to be avian. I have walked the neighborhood especially behind my townhouse. I call out to her and make noises she did and nothing. My boyfriend and I must have walked 20 miles today calling her name. No response at all.

Also, if you have Pella Sliding Doors - that roll screen will pop open if you have a larger bird like a Grey. The Sennie has flown into it in the past and it holds. I should have just tried to clip her wings myself but I did not expect an issue since I did't take her out and close her cage when the doors will be open.

If you pray please remember "Miss Bebe" in your prayers tonight.:eek:

Oh how sad.

I hope very much that owner and AG are reunited. The bird will be looking for mummy equally as hard.

My thoughts are with them.

I know the area well as I used to live there. There are so many places the bird could go on that trail. Just keep on visiting the area and the bird may turn up or be seen by someone else. I assume you put flyers on the trees so people will be aware. I pray bird will return home. I can only imagine how bad you feel.

Prayers and thoughts from South Africa.
Carry on with your search no matter how long, birds have been know to return months later.
Hopefully Bebe's safe return will be very soon.

I have been in touch by email. Bebe has been spotted 3 times close to home. Everytime they approach she flys away or higher up in the trees. They moved her cage to the most recent site but she has disappeared. She is very frightened of the people that gather to watch. The owners have begged people to leave nicely. This was around 3 pm. Waiting for new update.

A great update! Bebe is home! She flew into a window of a building in Hunt Valley. Someone saw her and captured her. They called a friend her had parrots in the area and they told this person about the flyers that were posted. Gina was called and happily brought Bebe home. She has a vet check today. She is eating and drinking but very tired. Thank you all for your well wishes!

I love a story with a happy ending
Glad she is eating and drinking, even though she is tired, wow what a journey Bebe endured. If only Bebe could talk.........
Hunt Valley, what a place to be found

I've seen three instances where birds have come back to their owners one way or another. I think it's just wonderful that your darling has come back home. Another success story. :D

I can hardly imagine how they feel; both the woman and Bebe have probably just experienced their happiest moment ever.
