Please help! Piper is missing!

Keeping our fingers crossed.

And again, it appears that this bird is not Piper.

Sorry, come on Piper.

How frustrating!

Piper has been missing for two weeks today as of 5:30 this evening.

I am so beyond upset that I trusted someone so incompetent, and quite frankly stupid, to care for my beloved birds. I can't help but feel like it's my fault he's either dead or cold, starving, and lost.

All three leads have turned out to be birds other than Piper. I am confused as to how so many people can be so careless with their pets.

Another lead on Piper.

I got another lead on Piper in the Raleigh area. This is the email I received in response to my email:


Hi Kaela,

I looked over your ad in craigslist before posting mine. The one I
found is a different blue (I think), does not talk and is super
friendly. He pretty much wouldn't let me leave without him when he was
found (I picked him right up after shooing him away twice) and likes to
sit on people. Will you describe his special stance to make
sure? I would feel bad if it really were Piper and I can't figure
out anything this one is doing different, but I am not a bird person.

Thanks,
Sally

Unless you're a bird person, you'd likely never notice that Piper has a
bit of a hunch due to his liver and kidney issue. He had been stargazing
during the worst of the illness and it seems to have over-corrected,
and now he appears a bit like the Hunchback of Notre Dame. And unless
you spend a lot of time with him, you'd likely never be able to pick up
on the words he does say because he sounds like a little garbled robot.

That said, Piper will seek out his people and likes to spend time with
them. He just has a bit of an issue with hands grabbing him. So that
part of my flyer may have been a little misleading, especially because
I'm nearly positive that if he was outside for enough time that he'd
want someone to pick him up because people = food and safety to him.

It's been three weeks since Piper went missing as of Thursday. I am cautiously optimistic.

Did she send a picture?

She wanted a description before she was willing to send a picture. I emailed her about a dozen, but she's still not sure how to tell if it's him or not. Hopefully she will send me one and I'd know for sure.

I don't want to mention that he's unbanded until I see a picture because I don't want someone to see that and be like "she can't prove it's him anyway" and decide to keep him.

Having found a bird... I think the more you describe his personality and your attachment, the more likely she is to allows its him. When did she find him and how long after he was "lost"?

The add was posted May 27, at which point he'd be missing for 10 days.

Any word yet???? WTF don't they know we're waiting.

Just got an email. This is apparently also not Piper.
