Oh no! I can't believe this. You NEED to get posters up ASAP! Everyone needs to know your bird is missing. Put an add in the paper too and post flyers everywhere around your neighborhood. Perhaps invest in a pool net, or borrow one just in case your see the bird again you have a greater chance of capturing it. This thread is making me so sad. In California there are Tiels lose everywhere always flying around. Unfortunately they didn't last long due to the crows always harassing and killing them, but keep your chin up because birds DO come back. That's how we got our old Pancha. She was a wild tiel that got lose and somehow survived for about ten years in the wild before she was able to be caught. One of our old Latinos was found in a tree, so they can and do survive. I will be keeping sweet Nelly in my thoughts and prayers. It's was NOT your fault, accidents happen.
