If you've ever had the pleasure of sharing your life with a bird you know that the loss of one would be devastating. Successfully recovering a missing bird is probably one of hardest out of any other sort of common pets that goes missing. This is because birds have wings, they can fly and the distances they will travel are unaccountable. Also, when people find a bird they would immediate think of buying a cage and not helping it finds his/her owner.
Pet birds are very loving, caring and intelligent animals and are always treated as part of a family. Common pet birds will include breeds such as:
- Budgerigars
- Lovebirds
- Cockatoos
- Cockatiels
- Parakeets
- Finches
- Macaws
- Quakers
- African Grey
- Long Tailed Parakeets
- Conures
All pet birds have a special bonding will their owner, especially those who are hand raised from baby or those which are let out of the cage to roam freely around the home. These are also the birds that often gomissing.
Pet birds that escape and find themselves in the wild must be recovered quickly as possibility. This is because they do not have the full instinct of the wild birds. What we mean is that they do not see 'predators as predators'. Often they will not realize predators such as dogs, cats, crows and other birds in the wild that may attack them. And the consequences can be fatal.
