I was in a rush and had my 2 babys in my hands taking them to the Aviary. Cinnamon wriggled and I lost my grip and she flew away. These are my first babys and I can't believe how quickly he learned to fly. I have been sitting outside to try and catch a glimpse of him. But he just flew up and away so quickly. I hope anyone reading this never has the same experience...

I feel so stupid. And upset as he is only 4 weeks and 4 days old and cannot feed himself yet. So I have condemmed him to an early death.

 

Is there any hope that he might be able to survive on his own or come back?

I am so sorry

 

How horrible!! I can't even begin to imagine how bad you must be feeling (((HUGS)))

 

I hope he comes back. What is your area like?? Budgies call can be heard for quite a distance and a number of members have had lost budgies return up to 4 days after their escape. I really hope he hears his parents, and comes back for you. I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you.

 

There is a lost and found section you could post in to.

 

All the best. Keep us posted

How sad She probably isn't very strong yet so she might not have gone far, I would quickly write up some fliers and stick them up on the light posts, etc around your area incase someone finds her.

 

Just a thought too incase you need to do a quick transport like that again. I have an old pillowcase that I put them in for quick moves between the aviary and the house, that way you hold the case tightly at the top and there is no way they can get out.

I lost about a 4-5 week old normal green bub once who wasn't feeding herself.we couldn't find her the first day, spotted her the second day in a tree, tried to catch her and she flew off like a pro. After the third day we'd given up hope. My partner and i were sitting out by the aviary watching the birds, when this little green hen walked up on the clear sheeting ontop of it!!!!! my partner went around the back, scared her to me and i netted her!!!!

She was starving!

so don't give up hope! she may still come back!

Sorry to hear about your loss. Hopefully she comes back.

Hopefully she will come back and you can hear her vocalizing;at that age she couldn't have gone that far.

l'm so sorry to hear this, l hope that she will be found soon.

same thing happened to me last weekend with Thor. I was trying to get him to move him when he scurried out and flew away. I prayed he would be back, but I think not. I know how you feel

u changed to you. please do not use shortcuts. for acceptable shortcuts please read the rules.

Big hugs xxx I hope he comes back. We know how you are feeling!

I have had babies come back after nicking off. Hopefully he'll hear the other birds and return for you.

Sending positive thoughts your way.

you have great suggestions, don't give up and we have a article in the FAQ about Lost Budgies and what to do, with her being so young I wouldn't be surprised if she came back to the aviary so watch for signs of her in the trees and on the aviary sides clinging. Don't beat yourself up we all have done something and regretted it, it was an accident.

Oh you poor thing. I have had a baby fly out of a cage quickly before I knew what was going on and didn't find him

Hope yours turns up.

im so sorry!

*pats *

and By The Way you are not stupuid, we all make mistakes

u-you. Shortcuts are NOT aloud

I'm so sorry. Hopefully she'll hear her mum and come back looking for a feed

i have heard numerous acounts of budgies being adopted by flocks of starlings

that would be a nice thought
