Did you parrot just fly out of the window? Missing your only source of entertainment? There a few simple things you need to follow to catch your escaped parrot. Your days will not be lonely anymore and your loved one is back where it belongs!

The first thing you need to do is find out how the birds in your area behave and find out when they make a lot of noise. This can narrow you down to a smaller time limit to run one of your physical searches. Research shows, that usually birds turn noisy, just before sun-rise or just after sun-set. So set these as your peak timings and search harder during these times.

Bait: One of the widely used methods to capture your parrot is to make an effort to feed it with food it loves the most. Try throwing your parrot’s favorite fruit or snack in your terrace or places close to its cage.

Outside help: Tell as many people you can in your area about your missing parrot. Their knowledge will make it easier for you to catch your escaped parrot. Let those who go for regular walks in parks in the vicinity, know about your parrot. Provide them with pillow covers to catch your bird. Another way to catch your escaped parrot is to bribe a few kids in your area with a chocolate or some cash. Kids love birds and their eye for detail will help in a big way.
You can also let the nearest wild-life preservation centers know about the missing bird. There are many organizations that help to catch your escaped parrot. Give them the best possible details about your bird and they will do their best. Another way is to try capturing a few antics it always makes and play it. This might help your parrot realize it’s far from home and yearn to get back to its cage.

Patience: If you spot your bird on a tree, don’t blindly climb the tree to get hold of it. Think hard. The climbing will only scare it away. So, try taking the cage with you while climbing, and from a lower level place it at a vantage point. The bird will surely recognize its cage and fly straight in.

Lost and found: You should also look out in magazines and local newspapers to see if there’s any information about your lost bird. Many people give ads in lost and found columns. This will surely help you to find and catch your escaped parrot. Also let your relatives living far and near know about your bird, so that they can check columns in their papers too!

Nights or day: A few birds are bad fliers in the dark. So try and intensify your search in the nights. This is because your bird will not fly away as easily as it would in the day.

Traps: There are many traps also available in the market to catch your escaped parrot. From Sparrow traps to chipmunk traps. They all work wonders! Just make sure they don’t kill your bird!
Follow the instructions given above and you’ll no longer have to be alone. You parrot is never too far away!
