Today I recieved a call from work regarding a African grey stuck in a tree. Upon calling the terrified owner I learned it was an old friend mine and Joe and I rushed to the home.
Poor Storm had been in the tree all day and night and was too scared to fly down. My poor friend was so upset at his "stupidty" as he called it, that lead to the bird getting outside.
It was a helpless feeling watching this tiny grey so high in the trees. The wind blowing and shaking the branches. Him making short flights from tree to tree trying to get down. The blue Jays staying near just watching him falter. Poor Storm calling to daddy and making every body gesture that he wanted down. It must have been an agonizing 24 hours for the both of them.
Every plan we had could risk him flying further away, with so many trees we might not have not seen him again. My friend had a tree service on the way and he was going to climb the tree....
All of a sudden feathers were everywhere around us, Storm flew down and was trying to land. He made a few tight circles over our heads and landed on the deck so happy to be grounded. It was a miracle! Everyone of us held our breath while my friend carried him inside. What a cutie! His only complaint once being back inside his home was "where's my cage & stand?" Ummm, out in the yard! Lol
My friend searched online for any helpful tips regarding escaped parrots. He did find AA. He was armed with quite a bit of knowledge from this forum and had everything setup perfectly.
Save one bird at a time AA. You might not even know you have. Your words and stories are read by more than just members and touch more lives than you may realize.
Goodnight Storm.
