I've got good and bad news about my neighbors case. Sir chatterbox (the escaped budgie) was caught today, unfortunately it costed my Budgie Chrissy. I was using my Clipped budgies to help get the escaped bird back, somehow Chrissy got out of his carrying cage and flew into a nearby tree, dispute being clipped. I know where he is, and I've got Opal his mate out in her locked cage trying to get him back. Hopeful Chrissy will come back and so will your pepper.

I try to be optimistic, Chrissy has been though so much.
Was it his budgie after all? Or just another escaped fid?
Oh no :( I hope you can get Chrissy back!

It is his budgie, Sir Chatterbox knows how to wolf whistle and say hello, and just to be sure they are going to take him to the vet to check for a micro chip.

There hasn't been any reported sightings or even "heard a parrot sound" reports the past two months or so now
It's been well over 100 days- the weather took an awful turn too this week. I wish Pepper would show up and come home :(

And just found out a military mac escaped a sanctuary on the 7th just 20 minutes away. Keeping my eyes out for her as well..

There is a white face tiel lost about 5 weeks ago a few blocks away. Had my eyes & ears to the sky when I'm out but I don't think he's been found yet.

Yet another tiel who looks like Pepper.. Im not very sure though because of lighting.
FEMALE COCKATIEL - general for sale - by owner

Does it look like it could be her?? I feel like after so long now she could be different..she was only around 9 months old i think when she escaped from what i remember..im forgetting :(
Pepper would be 1 year old as of May 19th

Seller says she is 2 1/2 years old and handfed. Has cage in picture with only dowels, that one toy and not even newspaper on the bottom.

I see a bit of grey on the crest that makes me think of Pepper..but the bird is fluffed up like in the ad in pics the seller sent me and makes it harder to see markings
With the lighting I cant tell if there's pied on the back of the head...

It's really hard to tell. You could call and kind of fish around with questions. It doesn't hurt to check it out. Still hoping you find her. Every time you post hear my heart leaps.

I asked a few questions and the seller was saying how she had the bird since she was 6 weeks old and stuff-
I just don't know. I wouldn't be able to buy the bird if it ended up not Pepper.. we hit our limit here

They're selling it for $100 and I used a different email letting them know of the $200 reward for Pepper and they said "its been my bird since 6 weeks old and she is just all fluffed up ..... "

I still check on found bird reports on Craig's List for Lurch, in fact I spotted one last night somewhat close to here but no response yet and I truly doubt it is him but ya never know. I hope she turns up safe and sound and happy soon as it sounded like she kept being seen in the area and was flying with wild birds so her chances are better that way and like we all hope somebody found her and finally realizes where she belongs.
