Lost & Found Birds
If you have lost a bird, found one, or
know of one, please let us know
and we will post your information here in hopes of reuniting with the owner.

Leg bands make a
difference!
We received an email from someone who found a cockatiel asking
how they may go about finding the owner. The bird had a leg band. We
replied that the leg band would trace back to the breeder (ours do),
and the breeder should have a record of who purchased the bird (we
do).
They responded with the band number, which happened to be one of
our registered bands. We looked in our data base, found the owner
and put the two parties together. The cockatiel was back home within
12 hours of the finder contacting us.
Please keep your contact information current with the breeder. It
could make the difference. |

Sun Conure - "Tequi" - 6/2/10 - Fairfax, VA
FOUND!
Goosie is a grey/white cockatiel. He is very affectionate,
wolf whistles, and whistles to "hey good looking," "pretty bird," and some
other phrases. Tequi is a sun conure who is also rather lovable, loves
peanuts, and can be quite loud when screaming. His speech is somewhat
garbled. Goosie and Tequi have been raised together since they were weaned.
Tequi orchestrated their escape and our family is hoping for their safe
return. Email Marci |

Parakeet - 6/7/10 - Falls Church, VA Cute parakeet, mostly white
with beautiful blue markings. I think it's a male because the cere is blue
and not a baby because his cap is white. He flew onto my balcony in Falls
Church. He easily walked up onto a stick and let me place him in a cage. He
does not appear to be injured. He is eating, drinking and chirping away.
Someone is probably really missing him. Email

| Leg Bands - Many
pets will have a leg band that identifies the breeder. A good breeder will
have a record of the owner. Always check a leg band against the
Legband
Database |
| |
| Microchip - A
special chip smaller than a grain of rice can be inserted below the skin and
provide definitive identification. Most vets have a microchip reader which
is passed over new patients to check for the presence of a chip. If you find
a lost bird, contact a vet to arrange for a scan to see if the owner can be
identified. If your pet has a microchip, be sure you have your current
information in the
registry. Check the various microchip registries
here. DJ
Feathers can arrange for a veterinarian to microchip your baby under
anesthesia (should not be done without anesthesia on birds). [More
