Where would you hide if you were a budgie?

[Sylvester]

You've probably already done this but have you checked every single box and container you have in the house? I'm still hoping that you will find him and that he will be OK.

I am in the process of re-checking everything. I am also taking apart rooms that had closed doors that day, just in case. There is a large vent in one of the bathrooms which is right off of the room in which there is an uncovered vent, so I am taking a look in there as well.

Thank you.

I can’t believe this is still happening; ugh, I was REALLY hoping for good news.

This is just getting frustrating and I’m getting more worried by the minute and he’s not even my pet, therefore I can’t even imagine how you feel.

Oh my gosh, come back Lenny.

I hate to mention this but I feel I should as it is a possibility if you have plants in the house.
We once had a budgie who was missing when we got home, we decided the dog could not have got the bird as there were no feathers. We searched high and low for hours with the dog watching us like we were crazy, she got bored with watching and went to do her own thing.......she proceeded to dig my budgie out of a small plant pot. She had killed the bird and buried it, there were no feathers, blood or signs of anything having happened.
Do you have any potted plants in the house?

Defeated, that is how I feel.

How horrible. I am so so sorry. I know dogs will snap at them like they are flies.



I don't have any plants because of the cats. Plants have a habit of being nibbled on, batted at, and knocked over, when one has cats.

Same here! I have one little succulent that they can't reach and that's the only survivor! My one cat will eat ANY plant she can get ahold of, and so many are bad for them.

So sorry you haven't found your little friend yet though I can only imagine how you are feeling.

 

[iamwhoiam]

I am really sorry that you haven't found Lenny. I keep checking every day hoping that he was been found.

 

[finchly]

Awww man! This is unbelievable. I too keep checking. I hope you find him soon!

Especially Poinsettias.

Thank you. I feel like I have failed him. The little female is going to a rescue group. I will not put her at risk.

Thank you. I want to find him and give him a proper burial.

Thank you, finchly. This whole episode has been surreal. No, I won't stop looking.

So very sorry that you still have not found him.

 

[finchly]

Here it is! I couldn’t find the thread.

Sylvester? News??

 

[Mali]

I have been following this with Hope's that you find him. Are you positive he couldnt have gotten outside prior to noticing the cats weren't where they usually are and neither was the bird. Or even while searching if someone had opened a door and he slipped out. I do hope you find him

Not knowing what happened is really the Pitts! It leaves an open wound.

It sure does.

It is such a shame. We were all hoping for a happy ending here and it doesn't appear to be heading in that direction.
So sorry @Sylvester

No it doesn't. I will be making another post to him, a tribute post.

I don't want to offend anybody who doesn't believe but something very strange happened to me last week. Every night before I would go to bed I would pass by Lenny's empty cage. I kept it there on purpose with the top off, in the hopes he would come back. I would feel a sensation and hear a bird fluttering around in the cage when I would pass it by. It was so apparent that I couldn't help but stop to look in, only to find nothing.

Then two nights ago I passed by and heard nothing, and I can't help but think he has finally moved on.

 

[Sylvester]

It sure does.

It haunts you.

 

[taxidermynerd]

I'm so sorry.
