It's possible to get them back I had 3 fly away. One I always took outside with me, fully flighted. He got spooked and flew into a tree. I was lucky and I got him back in like 2 hours. Jewels got out once because I had a panic attack and ran out the door. I had just gotten back from camping and he didn't want me to leave, I locked the door knob as I walked out. He flew through the closing door onto my shoulder. I spooked him accidentally. It was the most amazing sight to see. I watched where he landed. Sat out there watching him. I got him back in like 2.
Pearl I used to let her stay free on her cage in my apartment. Because she was so scared. Well one Saturday in November of 18 she flew over my head and out the door. And I missed it happening. When I realized what happened I went and looked for her . Didn't find her.
Downloaded, if you don't have it download it, nextdoor on my phone. someone found her Monday at inland imaging. She had flown down, tripped the motion censor on the doors and went in. Someone called a friend and said hey I found this bird do you know anyone who is missing it? The person she called had seen the add. I got her back.
DON'T GIVE UP
