I need a crash course in Budgies (parakeet)! My friend found one.

Ok, I called my area vets, my avian vet, and the closest bird shelter (which isn't really that close about 30 min away.) My area doesn't have any close shelters. Where else should I call to find his owners? How long do I wait until I make the "new addition" post? What's a respectable amount of time? I'll give him to his owners even if they show up a long time from now though as long as they can describe him.

Maybe you could run an ad in the classifieds about a found bird? I'm unsure of how much it costs where you live, though.
You might give it about a month before you officially adopt him.... it sounds like a good ammount of time to me.
Good luck!

I was thinking about a month too. My home pc is getting fixed but when it is I will post pics of him. I think he's pretty young. He's a lucky guy. It got a lot cooler here last night with hale. He wouldn't have made it through the night.

To be honest, I don’t think anyone will be looking for him because they probably think he died. I’m going to keep trying though. If one of my birds was out I’d be calling EVERYWHERE.

I'll look into the newspaper ad. Thanks for the idea.

No one has called about the little guy yet. I want to find his home and I did everything I could, but there is a big part of me that doesn't want the phone to ring so I can keep him.

Hehehe, they do wiggle their way into your heart pretty quickly don't they?
