Lost Birds Page

Hello, my name is Timer
As you can probably see, I am well loved and cared for
But I recently spent nine hours in the cold
I flew away from my Mom
Thankfully I was found rather quickly
This page is my way of thanking all the wonderful people
who sent help and prayers
until I was safely home again

While I was gone

My cage was in the back yard with a big bowl of treats on top

The garden hose was at the ready to spray me down so I could not fly away again

A tape with all the sounds familiar to me was playing loud in the back yard

Mom & Dad took turns talking to all the neighbors, getting permission to search their yards

A local print shop was making flyers with a picture of me
and instructions on where I lived and what to do if you should see me

All the vets and pet shops in the area were notified

Local and national bird clubs had my band number
and were quickly spreading the word that I was missing

There were messages on bulletin boards & mailing lists all over the internet

And lots of people were praying for me and my family

Of course the best way to be sure you don't get lost
is to ask your Mom & Dad or your vet to
clip your wings
