I lost maggie tonight!!

[Blancaej]

Hang in there Mark. Take care of you while you wait. She needs you to stay healthy. I know you will be together again. I just wish it was sooner then later. You are holding up well. I know I would be a basket case if it were me. Hang tough for your girl. Hugs!

A practical joke? What is WRONG with people? That's just horrible, I'm so sorry.

Keep your head up and take care of yourself (as many others have already said).

You and Maggie are and will continue to be in my thoughts.

 

[JerseyWendy]

Mark....for you:

We'll talk tomorrow! :heart: Please keep the food down! You HAVE to get some sleep, please, try!!!

Called me and said they found my bird... I rushed over there, only to find the address was a Walmart... No bird. Pure BS.

97% OF THE RESPONSES HAVE BEEN POSITIVE AND HELPFUL. KIDS WILL BE KIDS. INSENSITIVE JERKS WILL BE INSENSITIVE JERKS. THEY ARE THANKFULLY IN THE MINORITY HERE.

I am so sorry Mark I know she will come home and hope for yours and her sake, it is soon.

As for the "jokers"- The language I'd like to use to describe someone who'd do such a thing wouldn't be forum appropriate, but they won't go unpunished. Karma will get them.

I've got legit things to stress about without stressing over idiots. Gotta let that stuff go, and focus on what's important.

Well said.

Try to get a good meal in you, get some rest. You have to take care of yourself to be your best to take care of Maggie.

 

[ScooterMcTavish]

Hang in there Mark.

Hoping tomorrow brings good fortune and Maggie to you. And yes, take care of yourself.

I actually ate a full meal tonight, for the first time since Saturday, and it stayed down. I'm washing that down with Rum and Cherry lime aid...

I intend to shut my brain down one way or the other.

It seems to be working...

 

[Allee]

Mark, I know this is agony, I'm so sorry for all you're going through. You have a wonderful attitude about it all, especially those rotten low lifes that thought it was a good time to make matters even worse, you are right, not worth wasting a minute thinking about those morons.

Please remember you are NOT alone! We are here for you and with you as long as it takes, we'll be here to help you welcome her home. Sending you hugs and positive thoughts. Please take care of you.

Stay away from that Cherry lime aid!!

Mark, on my other group I posted on, people are really praying for you and concerned as well. The group doesn't even have anything to do with Macaws, but some really caring bird people nonetheless. There is one member who was so sweet, she told me she and her husband will be thinking of ideas today, although they know you've already thought of about everything. Tonight they came up with this for me to tell you.

She said maybe you can record your voice calling for her and talking to her, and send the recording to people who say they've seen her, so if they see her again they can play the recording. It's such a long shot, but it was so nice of her to suggest.

I know you are just totally beside yourself and in indescribable agony over this, but I hope you can nonetheless manage somehow to sleep a little and keep eating. Maggie needs you to be strong when you find her. Hugs Mark.

Good. Starving yourself of food, of sleep, fixes nothing. All sorts of cognitive problems during a time when you need your wits. If you can't sleep, then eat. Peanut butter, cheese: fats and protein and carbs. Maggie needs you intact, your flock needs you intact, and you've got more support than I need to vocalize. But you know that.

I posted her ad on my rats' forum for some extra publicity. We have members who free range and shoulder their rats, and I know most, if not all, of them would react the same way if one of their little fuzz balls went missing.

Best of luck, dear. You have eyes in the sky and on the ground; keep them, and your mind, open. Rats fit in weird and tiny places and have taught their people to do the same. We'll be watching for you.

Yes please stay well, Maggie needs you to be and the rest of your flock.
Still praying for her return safe and sound.

AAAAAAHHHHHH!!! UUUUGGGGGGAAAAAHHHHHDDDDDD!

I got an email from someone on Craig's list who claims their neighbor found my bird. She didn't leave an address or a working phone number.

Looks like it might be another prank...

THIS IS TORTURE!!!

Do you have any neighbors who dislike you or your bird? Sounds like these pranksters have good knowledge of your ordeal.

Total POS people.

I think some people are just horrible trolls who have nothing better to do. They probably just got the contact info off a flier and decided that it would be "fun" to mess around. People do the same thing with other missing pets and even children. It's disgusting.

 

[Birdman666]

"Hi. I am tourist from Europe, I live in hostel. My neighbor have found your bird. I have limited access to internet, call me for details, if you want! I lost my phone( you can call to my another Europe number for details [PHONE NUMBER OMITTED] Julia!"

I'M HOPING TO GOD IT'S NOT A SCAM, OR A FAKE. BUT SO FAR NO RESPONSE.

AND JUST LIKE THAT, THE KNOT IN MY STOMACH TIGHTENS AGAIN...
