*Found!* Can't find my parrotlet

[Tweeky]

Poor Snowflake is missing in my house...Been searching for a coupe of hours and can't find him.

 

[Shyra]

Have you found Snowflake yet? Hope Snowflake comes out of hiding soon if you haven't already. They are so small they can hide anywhere.

 

[Tweeky]

Still no sign of him. I do have a messy house so there are lots of hiding spots but this is the longest I've even "lost" a bird in the house.

 

[Lady Jane]

Hope you do not have a pet dog or cat. I know you must be worried sick.

 

[Tweeky]

Yes we have a cat but she is declawed on her front paws. I have looked everywhere and I am honestly baffle at where he could be.

 

[pinkdagger]

Maybe get the cat and her litter and food set up in the bathroom or basement or something and lock her up in there for now - somewhere your parrotlet couldn't have gotten to, just in case she ends up finding him first. Declawed or not, cats are cats and I know mine like to carry toys around in their mouth.

Are the other birds calling to Snowflake? Have you heard any little peeps back?

 

[Tweeky]

No all the other birds are sleeping. We were watching a movie and I noticed he was missing about 1 am.

 

[pinkdagger]

Oh no - almost 5 hours now? If the other birds are sleeping, he could have found a spot to settle down and sleep too. Does he recognize certain sounds, like a clicker or the sound of you preparing food or shaking food? If there's a sound he can identify, maybe making those sounds - like dry food hitting the bottom of a food bowl - might get a few chirps or flutters if he's eager to come out.

 

[JudiNH]

Maybe try crinkling a plastic bag? That makes my birds go nuts, every time. Hope you find him soon!

 

[Tweeky]

Cats sleeping too. It's just getting light out now and I need to go to sleep. His cage door is open and he little carrier is on the floor. I hope he's ok.

 

[RadhaVallabhi]

This sometime happens to us too! Play a recording of a parrotlet off of youtube. They'll respond to it, then you should be able to find him! Hope you find him!

 

[BirdBrained]

Oh no, poor Snowflake. Hope you find him soon.

 

[Tweeky]

At about 6:30 am Snowflake came fluttering out of somewhere... He's safely in his cage now and I can go to bed.

 

[Daisy's Mom]

Yay!!!

 

[RoxieW]

Glad he is safe.

 

[VictoriaVague]

Phew! SO glad he is okay

 

[Coki]

I'm really happy he showed up! I once believed one of my budgies escaped. He was clipped and i have a messy house aswell. I looked for hours and nothing. A few hours later... there he was, in the top part of a box standing like nothing happened.

 

[Tweeky]

I feel like a parent of a teenager. They stay out all night and amble back when it's light out.. I am pooped.

 

[SandraK]

Not just Snowflake, but fids can be little stinkers about hiding and not making a peep while a worried parront has the "body in the ditch" (as I call it) mental image. The you find the little monster sitting very quietly somewhere where they could watch you go nuts the whole time. I am positive they sit there and giggle too.

I'm glad he's okay!
