Ellie passed away on Sunday, I was in Europe so I don't know what happened but she was sitting on her bed thing with her wings spread and eyes closed.. apparently she was doing super well the day before not egg bound, my parents checked.. I don't know.. she was almost 18 :'(

So so sorry for your loss

Oh no! I'm so sorry for your loss!!

Fly high and free, little Minky!

thankfully Minky is in good health but he is quiet since losing his friend I think I will spend plenty of time with him so he's not feeling lonely

Minky flew away this afternoon.. does anyone have advice on finding lost parrots.. I've been bawling my eyes out for the past hour trying to look for him

Fortunately, unless a strong wind gust takes them, most parrotts will return to a happy home.

poor little guy was so scared, when I found the tree he had flown into he was calling for me, whistling, saying hello and wanting to get down.. I'm just glad a cat didn't get him had to do some climbing to get him though LOL ended up with some bruises but its all worth it for my little guy

Here in Aust and in other places too - when a bird escapes and it is nice and hot - the most effective way to catch them - is to get a hose and let it "rain" on them till they are a bit too wet to fly effectively. Then you can catch them - dry gently with a towel - and put in a nice warm draft free place. This is less stressfull than having to chase them round.
