www.911parrotalert.com is a great place to start. Also hang up posters around your neighborhood and ask people to keep an eye out for him. Contact the local animal control to let them know you are missing a bird.

Here's a good article on things to do.

Have you put the bird's cage outside? I'd do that right away.

Was there any type of music you played a lot? If so, turn it on and open the windows.

You never know what sound might sound familiar to your baby and draw him back.

Keep the faith and good luck.

Glad to hear you got your baby back. What a relief that is - been there and done that a few times myself, I know what that feels like.

I am so happy for you and your baby!!!

When I was 14, my beloved budgie that I had for three years flew away. I got him back and was so happy. I know how you feel.

Have fun at the party!!
