Lost Bird

Our "new" edition, now a after a year and a half flew the coop on Monday January 7th. I left for work with them in their cage and on a screened in porch. Someone that shouldn't have opened the cage did so. That same person later opened the door to the screened porch. Orly is the only one missing, so for that I'm grateful, but she was the sweetest of all of them.

We've put up posters and will still keep looking, but with hawks and vultures near our home in Orlando (yes we moved) the chances of survival are dim. Her wings were also mostly clipped, with one long feather and one medium length allowing for flights of 30-50 feet (guess).

She is nowhere in sight.

I've owned birds for over 5 years and have never had this experience.
