Help!!!

My bird crawled in a hole underneath my cabinets where two ends meet and form a "V", so obviously I cant get to him unless I rip out my cabinets. He doesnt come to me how do i get him out!! I didnt even know that hole was there you cant see it unless you are laying on the floor

You might try to pull the board off the base of the cabinet. They usually are not attached very well. Reach through the hole your bird went into and pry it loose from the back with a flat screw driver. That way you won't tear it up too badly and you can get to your bird. You can then put the board back.

I had a hamster do this once when I was a kid. He eventually came out but you bet I didn't let that happen again! I hope all goes well. Keep us updated!

I know you said you put seed down but what about treats like mmr said? Maybe millet and sunflower seeds or a honey stick (or bell)? Most of the smaller parrots love these. I hope he comes out before you have to damage your cabinets.
