So wish I could help but I'm from the UK, good luck to the family finding him. I hope he returns to them safe and healthy. xo

Haven't you lost your bird before?

 

[Atwee921]

You lost your b & g "Cali" before. You NEED to stop letting these birds out, free flighted.

 

[Atwee921]

Oh, im sorry, this was from your friend. But still, the bird in the picture is out free flighted.

I hope your friend finds their bird, but also, as I always stress to people. Even trained full flighted parrots can spook at something and fly away. It is my opinion that parrots should always have flight suits on or be in a cage when they are outside.

Or if you want to free flight your bird you could go to a gym (like in a school or church)

opinions are like a-holes, everybody has one. Keep your a-hole comments to your self. If I posted a thread about flighted birds and asked for input, that would be the time to state your opinions on the subject. How would you like it if your bird was outside and got dive bombed by a hawk or mauled by a cat and you posted the sad story and I said something like "in my opinion, you should leave your birds flighted, maybe then it would have had a chance to get away". F'in a-holes! All I'm asking people to do is spread the word around for my friend. The problem isn't flighted birds, it's ignorant people that think they are going to make $$$$$ off of a pretty bird!

FYI people: birds were meant to fly, I applaud those who allow their birds to truly experience what it is like to be a bird. Those that free fly are well aware of the risks. You can't always err on the side of caution at your bird's expense. Dogs get loose all the time, the answer to that isn't to tie them up to a tree. The most important thing is to reunite a member of the family when they go astray, for what ever the reason may be. Good luck to your friend I really hope they find Cecil soon.

This is the beauty of the WINGS! For all of you that think you have a real bond with your flightless birds, this bond is strong! Real life partners stay with you by choice, not because you hold them captive!

If you post something on a forum be prepared to hear opinions. If you can't handle what others say then don't post. My opinion stands.

If people didn't allow their birds to fly without being on a lead then people wouldn't be trying to make money off a lost one.

Or if you want to free flight your bird you could go to a gym (like in a school or church)

That is a GREAT idea! Good thinking.

Reasons to leave your bird flighted range from safety to mental and physical health. Birds fly...

My parrots are fully flighted... but they have flight suits...

 

[iselfca]

You lost your b & g "Cali" before. You NEED to stop letting these birds out, free flighted.

My bird is home safe and will continue to be a free bird. Free in his willingness to always return home, free of typical dangers and free of mental and physical heath problems. He will remain as natural as the earth. The bond is stronger than you could ever imagine, unlike the relationship with the slave you call your pet.

why, are you afraid that your bond is not strong enough?
