Such a blessing that you got her back! Too often, these things end in heartache.

We have her! She flew a good distance and landed on a gentleman a shoulder who called animal control! She is home safe. Thank you so much. xoxo

Wow, what an excellent save! I am so happy for you as so many times we never have closure and are forever haunted.

Thankfully there are lots of wonderful folks out there, eager to help. But I would have a word with the vet who supposedly clipped the wings. While a clipped bird may still fly, the ability should be markedly lessened to avoid sustained free flight.

I so agree Scott! We went back to the bird store we got her from (they do a lot of consignments from people who cannot care of their birds anymore) and are very knowledgeable and they did a "baby" trim she said. Just not okay to not check with me first!

Just ran across this thread and am new here and mainly just read.
I'm so so happy for you and getting your bird back!!!
Brought tears to my eyes also, as I have an umbrella cockatoo and about 10 years ago he got out and ended up flying about 25 to 30 feet up in a pine tree. I spent all afternoon outside in the yard calling him and had his cage outside with the door open for him but no luck. It was starting to get dark out so I felt I had no choice left but to climb that tree. I begin climbing also figuring it would be the last time I'd see him, figuring when I got close he would take off again. So I mentally braced myself for a final good bye as I climbed higher. I finally made it to him and stuck my hand out and he climbed on my hand like it was nothing. Now I had a new thought come across my mind.... How the heck am I gonna get down??... Well believe it or not I was able to make it down with just one hand, there was no way I was going to let go of him so one hand it was. It was a happy tearful end!!
Again I am so happy that you had the same tearful happy end to your stressful ordeal!!!! Thank God!!

Thats AMAZING! I am so glad it worked out and you didn't get hurt. This experience has definitely opened my eyes and it will NOT happen again that I can help. I am so grateful for all the amazing advice and concern from you all! so very blessed!!

My parrotlet flew off my shouldet with clipped wings and went far off in the pine trees i tried for hours to get him down i had just about given up as it was dark i went to bed and got up early and kept calling his name nothing. I went to let my dog out and on my way back there was my peewee trying to climb on my deck i scooped him up and rushed him in the house. He spent a long night in the rain and cold i thought thr hawks would get him or exposure. I was heart broken until i daw his little face.dont give up miracles do happen i had one .i hope you find your baby its just awful
