My Quaker Parrot?

My Sweet Pea is still not home, been 2 weeks 3 days, is there still hope?
your quaker may come back there is never been a given time period of how long a pet bird can survive. Quakers are know to stay within 500 yards of the nest ( cage). also put up posters around your area letting people know sweet pea is lost. someone may have found him and taken him in. good luck and let me know how it turns out.

Reply:There is always hope, quakers are hardy little birds. I have heard so many stories of people loosing their birds, and then getting them back months later. One woman had lost an amazon, and it was found by someone else 60 miles away! Quakers are extremely smart birds too. They have wild colonies in several states: new york , new jersey, Texas, Deleware, conneticut and Florida (just to name a few). I'm not sure where you live, but in the wild they usually nest in urban areas, and near transformers and light fixtures (Like stadium lights). They have even been known to visit bird feeders with wild birds! We lost one of our quakers last year when we were letting the dog back in, and she flew out the door. We never found her but it was extremely cold the next day, and it snowed 4 inches. I like to think someone found her and took her in, it happens! Since you lost her while it's been warmer, she will be able to survive temperture changes and find food. I would make sure you put out flyers, run ads in your local papers, also there is a lost bird site on the net I will try to find again for you that goes state to state- for people that lose or find birds. Make sure you go to your local human society and bird rescues also and submit flyers to them, alot of people that find birds, take them there. Good luck - I hope she comes home....Okay the website to look on for found birds and to submit your lost bird is www.birdhotline.com , I put my quaker on here too when she flew away.
Reply:A Quaker is probably fine.


They can survive and form wild flocks in many northern cities.


As far as coming home, a feeder may lure him back.





Cover a quarter mile in all directions from your home.


Will he come to you? Use his favorite call.


Good luck but it's a longshot.

Reply:Yep, there is still hope.


Just do all that you can. Go for walks near the place that he flew from and then go as far as you think that he would be able to fly. Call his name and make noises that he is familiar with. Even bring a toy that he really liked.


Knock on peoples doors and show a picture of him. Put up flyers that have a huge pic of him on it so when people are driving by they get a good glance at the bird.


Offer a reward. If you can't afford allot then offer as much as you can but don't put how much it is on the flyers


Go to the local market and talk to the checkers there to see if they know anything. People like to chit chat at the checkout.


Put an add in the regular paper and one in the freebie paper.


Put his cage outside in a real easy for a bird to see place and leave the door open. Early morning is a good time for birds to be moving around. Keep it out there day and night if you want to but you could be turning it into a bird feeder. So it might be better to bring it in at dark.


Call the bird rescues in your area and see of anyone has posted that they found him and leave a post that he is missing. And do the same with the animal control.


And most of all.....don't give up hope.


My dog that was my best friend and bud was gone one day...and I finally found him......5 months later. So do not give up.


That's all I can think of to do. When you talk to the animal shelters they may have more suggestions.


If you really, really want to see Sweet Pea again you will be doing all of these things. I'm not saying that this is 100% that you will get him back...but at least you know that you really did do all that you could possibly do to get him home.


But don't feel bad if you don't get him back. If this happens then it is way more than likely that someone has him and he is ok....just not home.


Good luck...and I really hope your Sweet Pea comes home.
Reply:if it flew away forget it. Tame birds get disoriented when they get free out of doors. It is miles away!! Quakers are notoriously independent. They survive well loose. Most major cities have groups of them living in colonies. Even Chicago!! and it gets 20 below zero in the winter there. He/she may have already found a mate and be living a happy married life.
Reply:For a minute there, I thought you were Popeye! I'm so sorry he "flew the coop". I hope he comes back for you!!
