ParrotHead
Walking the driveway
The story about the hawkhead getting stolen got me thinking. If I were in a situation where someone stole my bird, and they decided to either re-sell it, or let it go, there's no real way to tell he's mine, except by his band number (which can be removed). I have no doubt if someone decided to come to my house to take my birds (which probably wouldn't happen, but if it did) that my hawkhead would probably be the one they would take. Not only because he is very expensive, but because he'd probably be the only one to step up for a stranger.
That leads me to the thought- Is your hawkhead microchipped? I know it wouldn't help me locate him, like a GPS device, however if the person who got him took him to the vet, I would think they would scan him to see if he was microchipped. Mine is not, but I am seriously considering getting it done (as well as my Timneh and Eclectus) What are your thoughts?
