Last friday i had my bird cage oustide because we are remodeling and i thought the noise would be too much for them. My grand daughter who is 6 years thought since she was thirsty that the birds would like their water fresh and cold too. Before I could stop her she had opened the cage and my beloved Perchie flew out and was gone I didnt scold her because she loves him as much as me we are both his Mommies.I whistled for him called his name and kept the cage with Smoochie my other budgie outside where I hoped he would hear or come back. I stayed out all day and til 10:00 pm that night calling him because he would always come to his name when I called him in the house or would answer my whistle until we found each other.I left the sliding door open that night and the next day which was Saturday and all that night and the next day. Still calling him hoping my biddie buddy would come home. Alas, to no avail!! I canvassed the neighborhood nobody has seen him. I am so broken hearted about this my only hope is that he will come home or that someone will find him and love him as much as I do. Barbara
