We were taking Snowflake (our little blue parrotlet) to a local bird
shop to get some suggestions on how to help her. She was a rescue and
her beak is broken on one side, and her feet are missing all the
claws. She escaped in our neighborhood right off of Wymore Road near
Lee Road. We saw her in the tree and were able to track her for
approx. 5 hours because she was responding to our other parrotlets,
but then a small bird (maybe a finch) came along and scared her off.
We lost sight of her at approx. 5:30 this evening (Sunday, January
6th) She is very tame. Because of her feet, she will not step up on
your finger, but she has does allow you to pick her up by placing
your hand over her back, then setting her in the palm of your hand.
She is very loved, and we pray that if she does not come directly to
our home, that she will go to someone for food. I really don't think
she will be able to survive outdoors. If you find her, please, please
let me know. Our family misses her very much.
Thanks so much

Two emails from owner...

Thanks so much....We put the bird cage outside yesterday with the other parrotlets inside, and she came back. We have not been able to catch her yet. She flies over to her cage, and sits on it chatting with the other birds, but everytime we get within 5 feet of her, she flies back up in to the trees. Today is another day for us try again. Any suggestions? We have a seperate cage right next to the other parrotlets cage with a bowl of food inside. We are hoping she will go in to get the food which will make it easier for us to catch her. But for now, she is still out there, and I fear that every day she spends outside reduces our chances of getting her back alive. Any suggestions would be sincerely appreciated.

Thanks so much :)

AND

Hi :)

I just wanted to drop a line to let you know that Snowflake came home today :) Over the last three days we have had two cages outside. One of them with our other parrotlets inside, and one left open with a dish of food. She went right inside of her cage to eat and is now safe and sound at home. HOORAY!!!!!! Anyway, just wanted to let you know there was a happy ending :)

AND

Home at Last---Happy Ending

Have you seen her?

One our parrotlets escaped this afternoon. We were able to track her
for approx. 5 hours before a small bird flew into the tree she was in
and scared her out of sight. She was responding to our other
parrotlets before she flew off too far. She was last seen off of
Wymore Rd. near Lee Rd. She was a rescue, and has damage to her beak
and feet. Because of this, she can't really step up on your finger,
but she does allow you to pick her up over her back. She is very tame
and does not bite. We were just taking her to a bird shop to see if
they had any recommendations on how to help her. If you find her,
please, please let us know. She is very loved, and we are worried
senseless about her. I don't think she can survive out doors. I have
attached a pic of what she looks like. She is the blue one.

Thanks so much
