I've never lost a bird so I won't say I know your pain, but I can say that I can't imagine how much it would kill me if one of my fabies flew out the door.
I continue to hope for his safe return to you.

He has not been returned. I have two options of what to believe and neither of them make me feel any better:
1. Someone is keeping him (you know that some of these bird people are nuts and if they find a bird it is entirely possible they will justify keeping him ..I have seen it happen)
2. A hawk got him.
The whole dynamics of my flock changed when he left..sigh.
Rosie, the Green Cheek Conure was bonded to Shrek and this was perfect because he LOVED to be Allopreened and she loved to preen, she didn't shred his feathers. With Shrek gone, Rosie has chosen Ayesha (EKKIE) to bond to and Ayesha does not have feathers that take well to allopreening...sigh.
I have tried keeping them separated, but it's impossible given the bird room set up and I am not going back to cages (cleaning them was much worse for my back than cleaning racks). So...to make a long story short, I had to give up Rosie.
Now it appears that Jasmine (RB2) is becoming destructive, so instead of letting her go cheap, I will sell her to ensure she gets someone that values her.
Pictures are worth a thousand words...so here:
The first picture is Ayesha and Rosie..see how Ayesha's feathers aren't holding up well to Rosie's preening?
Second picture is the set up..it's right off my bedroom (doors).
Third pic tried to get a better pic of her feathers, Rosie is gone, and already her feathers are looking better.
The crazy bird people think I am doing this because I am "heartless." I would that that statement were so.
