Pet Forum / Birds / Parrots / January 2004I called by bird home from roof top.
Two year ago I found a singing whistling and talking cockatiel in my back yard. I work at home and the bird is always calling out to me and we whistle little tunes and calls to each other all the time. Today he got out and flew away. After a few hours, I got on the roof and looked all around and just kept whistling his tunes. After about an hour of this I could hear him several blocks away. He would come toward me one tree at a time until we was just across the street in the very top of a tree. It was just getting dark and down to about 40 degree(f) and will freeze tonight. I got under the tree and kept talking to him. He dive bombed me and locked onto my coat. If you don't believe this, I don't either. I was always told that as many escaped as get lost. He seems to be very happy to back in the house..

Cool story :-) Mark Great story! :-) Too bad it isn't that easy for others that have lost cockatiels... > Two year ago I found a singing whistling and talking cockatiel in my back > yard.

He seems to be very happy to back in the house.. Don, that's wonderful! The first time Percy got out (he was on my shoulder as I carried rubbish out to the bin), he landed in the carport, and I called and whistled continuously, and he came back! This time, my wife was packing the car to go away for a few days, and he quietly hopped on her shoulder as she was going out the door. He startled, flew out of the carport and right up into the ear, flying shrieking off into the distance. It would really help if we had any idea where he landed, but it could have been miles away. Don, was your bird clipped at all? Cheers, Ian T. > Great story! :-) > [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > > Mesquite, Tex 75150-1143 > > www.bryantsantiques.net What a great story! I am happy for you, and your bird.:) What I great ending! I shall leave for work with a smile on my face thinking about that! > What a great story! I am happy for you, and your bird.:) Aww that's fantastic! I have continuous dreams about my birds escaping and them coming back to me from outside. But I know it would never happen if they ever got free. Luckily they stay in my room upstairs so they'd have quite a hard job getting out the house anyway, but i'm always extra safe, just in case! > Two year ago I found a singing whistling and talking cockatiel in my back > yard.
