Wow what a day I have had with it being the first day back to school for my kids and my youngest starting prep I thought I would let the budgies out side in their big aviary as I had them inside till my husband finished their new aviary I let them out and as I was taking the small cage out the aviary door 3 snuck out 2 hens and 1 cock all beautiful english budgies any way I took the kids to school thinking I would never see them again when I got home the boy was on the aviary so I got the hose and tried tosoak him but he flew to the next door neighbour so I then thought I am going to need more preasure so got the bore water hose out that has super preasure and hosed him down he fell out of the tree and my Mum that was there helping was waiting next door to grab him so one down two two go but as the day went on no sight of the two girls took kids to swimming lessons after school come home to find one of the girls hanging on the aviary wire got my super soker bore hose out and got her, put her in the aviary a little drowned but still managed to climb the wire to have some seed now if I can just catch that last one.Well i'm beat I am going to have another look sorry for the long post just wanted everyone to know that there is hope after escapee's.

Good luck. I know what a terrible feeling it is.

Good luck. I hope you find the last one. I lost a young chick once (before I had a safety door) She flew into the tree above the aviary. I tried the hose trick and she just got annoyed and flew off... never to be seen again. It's a horrible feeling. Hugs xo

Good luck, I hope you find the last one. I've lost birds like this before to. I re caught most of them days later. Put some feed and water on the avairy roof and she might come back.
