What you can try if your pet bird escapes:

If you happen to have your bird escape out a window or a door and fly away this can be very devastating. When the weather is warmer than 60 degrees F., you can place the cage outside on a table or chair. If the bird was by itself you could place food dishes and/or spray millet and water outside the cage to entice it, and inside and hope the bird recognizes its home and comes back and goes inside. If the bird had a partner and you placed it outside in its closed cage, its calls may get the attention of the escaped bird if it has not gone too far and it may come to the cage. If it is hand trained you may be able to recapture it and return it inside. Sometimes pet birds will hook up with wild birds and find food. Budgies have been known to follow sparrows and finches and live outside with no problem unless its from a freezing climate which it would probably not survive very long. You can also place posters up or tell your neighbors to watch out for it and notify you if they see it. If you lose an expensive bird you should place an ad in newspapers and ask if local radio and TV stations would help you advertise it in case someone finds it. You can also place flyers on telephone poles and inside nearby stores.
