Keep your eyes open in Florida, Georgia, etc.

Bird store near me in South Florida recently robbed of many birds. It’s a heartbreaker.

Be suspicious of ANY ads you see with birds for sale, and report to the police if something doesn’t seem kosher!

im in northwest florida, and found a female parakeet abt 5-6 months ago, do you think she could be from there? (its the bird i have named bluberry)

I doubt these thieves would take a budgie. I can only imagine the stress these birds are going through.

I doubt these thieves would take a budgie.

If a hole was cut in the ceiling, any bird could have escaped. Owner said some birds were flying around when he arrived.
I hope they receovered some of the birds. Still very sad

 

[Lady Jane]

Yes I read what the owner said.

 

[FeatheredM]

Oh no!!! That's so horrible, i hope the birds are ok.

@FeatheredM this is an older thread from earlier in the year. We can only hope they all found soft landings

If you're concerned you can always reach out to the pet shop. If your bird has a band, they may know if it's one of their lost ones.
Other than that, I'm not sure what you can do.
Many budgies look similar and it might be hard to verify just from description.

well i found her with no band, and she still doesnt have one.
