Through our efforts, Thea's family was found. We also were able to find the family of a cockatiel that had flown most of the way across town. Earlier this year, working together with the local bird club, we were able to get a Patagonian back with her family within days. There is a wonderful online organization that is called Bird Hotline dedicated to the return of lost parrots to their owners. Please visit their website.
Rescue is a serious thing when it comes to parrots.
You are dealing with a being that is very intelligent and most likely not able to understand abuse or neglect. If you know of such a bird, try educating the owner, or letting an avian rescuer know. Here is a list of my rescued flock and why each one is here with me today. And with me they will stay. Owner let me have her at a very good price as she knew this bird had to get out of there.
