I hope she finds him

In my thoughts... That makes me sad. One of our customers lost her bird yesterday when her cage broke walking in the store yesterday. Her 'tiel just flew off, I cried for her.

im an hour for columbus hope layfettes okay ill let my friends in columbus know to keep a look out!

Thank you, Coral!

Kristen is still looking for Lafayette - tomorrow will be day 3 - apparently on the third day, he may be more likely to come closer to ground from wherever he is hiding to search for food. It's pretty windy there right now too apparently, so this may make flying back home a bit more difficult for him.

What's the weather like there? Hopefully it isn't too cold.

I can't imagine losing any of my guys like that, it's my worst fear.

Today it had been raining. Lafayette's mom has been sitting outside in her car near her complex - he was spotted yesterday evening getting food from a tenants bird feeder - she's hoping he'll come back to or near the same spot.

So he is alive - which is good (she found some feathers near where he flew away the following morning).

I haven't heard from her since this morning though

It's also getting colder again (20F tonight), so we're hoping he's staying dry & warm somewhere. Let's hope natural instincts ensue.

Has she tried putting his cage out with the door open and food inside?

Yes, she had, and she has been bringing his "sister" with her as well to call for him.

I wish her luck. About a year ago we had 'tiel WAY, WAY up in a tree in our front yard. We tried to entice him down to see if we could find his owners, but he eventually disappeared. Hopefully this guy will be one of the success stories!

So...my friend got a phone call from one of the pet stores they dropped a flyer off at.

A woman came in to have a turquoise mutation GCC conme in for a wing clip and a cage - her daughter's friend found the bird and gave it to this woman's daughter...the woman did leave the employee her phone number as she was suspicious of her daughter's story.

The markings on the wings and feathers not yet grown in match Lafayettes!! We're pretty sure it's him!!

Pet store has called and left a message at the woman's house a few hours ago.

So waiting anxiously to confirm identification.

As per Lafayette's mom: "HE IS COMING HOME!!!! SHE JUST CALLED!!!

She just called. She's currently out of town over night, but she'll be back tomorrow! She said that her friends kid found him huddled under a bush the evening before yesterday! She gave him over to her because they didn't know anything about birds. She said ALL yesterday he flew around the house yelling and screaming, bit her twice and crunched her blinds. She finally took him to petland to be clipped after he tried to attack their cat. But, he's at her house now and safely in a cage with food and water."

Yippee!!!

that is good news
