Neptune is lost

[noodles123]

Interesting, when zooming on on that, i see something different--less yellow, but still a parrot. Do we have the original for comparison. I still see a bird, but I wanted to compare the two because both are pixelated, but I am not sure if I am looking at the same thing as I was before...

Maybe it's in my head, but the bird looks like a grey blue here...but before it looked yellow...so just confused...

The bird we were looking for was also a quaker, and he had made it more than a mile away over the course of a day (don’t know the exact distance but it was definitely more than a mile). Bobby’s person didn’t think he really knew how to fly....um, she was very wrong.

If Neptune is hanging out near someone’s house, could a cage with something tasty be put out to see if it will tempt him?

I strongly suspect that is Neptune by description, especially from bird watchers. Hopefully just a matter of time and chance to be in the same area.

This is the creek with marsh that is on the backside of all the houses

Does he like the sound of chip bags crinkling?
Looks like a lovely place, but for sure, overwhelming.

Here are some of the woods on the front side facing one way to ends at wild undeveloped area

Here is facing the other way also ends in a forest and undeveloped area

 

[noodles123]

At least there are lots of good hiding places for him to stay safe---not that it makes your life any easier...Has he been coming to the feeder around the same time? I guess if they were calling him and he showed up, I would go to where they were and do the same thing at around the same time.

 

[Laurasea]

No they hadn’t seen him before, across the wooded fence nit to far away they had been riding bikes and calling him, all random times he has been seen at random places but allclustered at this one point and I’m sitting here calling him , please leave allstragies I got to go battery low

 

[Laurasea]

How can this be! I was in the backyard of the place they thought they saw him. I think he squawked, Penny made the same sound back they did this 4 times I was zeroing in on him! But as I can to the creek a storm from my was barreling in on us, wind lightning lot I wind crashing thunder then rain! I had to leave him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I waited till hit Incase he would come to be! I can’t stand it!!!!! I’m sobbing

 

[noodles123]

I'm so sorry! Don't give up...can you go back after the storm?

 

[Laurasea]

I will , but he can’t fly wet , I’m worried if he tried he end up in the creek or in trouble?????

 

[saxguy64]

Oh Laura, I know how awful you must feel that you had to leave, but this is the most encouraging development yet! It's unlikely that he's going to try to venture out in a storm like that, so if you can get back there after it's over, he'll probably still be right there. I'm hoping and praying for you every day that he returns soon! You're doing an amazing job. Stay strong, my friend.

Lots of birds do fly wet though--- at least robbins and stuff...You sure he can't?

 

[Laurasea]

After my bird get wet st home if they get spooked they fly a couple feet and end up on the floor...... I’m watching radar d to keep popping up over me, very dark ...... ugh I dint know what to do

 

[T00tsyd]

The good news is that he was there and he answered. He hasn't forgotten. Keep it together he needs you to be calm and enduring. You are doing everything humanly possible - just hang in there a little longer.

 

[noodles123]

He has been out flying a lot more lately, so I bet he is stronger than he was in terms of flying skills. Didn't it rain the other day too (he made it that time, right)? I would be a nervous wreck too, but this is a positive sign...so just hang in there the best you can--sorry you are going through this!

 

[Laurasea]

I’m back he isn’t making a sound but then I look o er my shoulder and see this

That is terrifying, but if it is any solace, Noodles and I were outside the other day and she started FREAKING out and looking up...I looked up and saw a hawk circling like 100 feet in the air---and she has no experience with them and she doesn't react to other birds that way....so I think they have a strong instinct to avoid them (even as captive parrots)..That may be part of the reason he is not making a sound...The other thing I would say is that he is a parrot, so he IS smarter than half of other birds that hawk could go after...

UGH...what a nightmare! I'm sorry!!!!

 

[Laurasea]

He was only 20 feet or less from this hawk makes me sick, am I cursed?!??
