I've suffered a sad loss....Bruce is gone.

Mr 10 - Have you tried phoning the RSPCA? You never know, Bruce may have sauntered his way into one of their branches.

Birds have their own branch. It's the RSPCB innit

 

[Easy 10]

No, I've not.
I'll get the wife to try them tomorrow, but I can't see how they'd even catch him, let alone know about him.

Or even the RSPB.

The RSPB would not be bothered with missing birds. In fact, they probably frown upon caged birds.

 

[surrey jim]

sorry to hear that

Or even the RSPB.

Picky!

 

[Franks Wild Years]

Surely birds have their own 'perch' not 'branch'.


Sorry he hasn't returned yet E10.

Cuttlefish, maybe. Perch sounds a bit fishy.

Two budgies sitting on their perch.
One says,
"Can you smell fish ?"

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

he likes a COCKORTWO!

 

[Everest]

Picky!

Sorry

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Any news, E10?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Easy I will keep my eyes peeled over the weekend in case he fancied a trip to North Southwick.

 

[surrey jim]

keeping a look out in BN1

 

[Easy 10]

Thanks peeps.
I've cleaned and disinfected his cage this afternoon though, he's clearly not going to be back again. Have looked up a couple of local breeders, and we're just coming into season for them, so I might get a hand-reared replacement soon. Might get something slightly larger - looked at a brown-headed parrot in Pets Corner, lovely little fella, but he was £420

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

So the brief period of mourning is officially over then?

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

I've just heard!!!! So sorry to hear!!!

I'll miss that fella flying at my head!!!

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Birds have wings, they should not live in houses, cages or any other confined human space, no matter how much room there may be for them to fly around, it's NOT natural. Good luck to the fella, long may he enjoy his freedom.

Well after trawling pet shops and garden centres all weekend, I visited a bird breeder this afternoon up in Burgess Hill. She had a lovely little pearl white cockatiel who is 8 weeks old, hand reared, and he took to me like a duck to water. He sat on my hand, before creeping up my shirt to nuzzle one of my chins. He's a scruffy little bugger at the moment as he's still got a ot of his baby feathers, but he should be ready in a week or so apparently. Very friendly and totally accustomed to being handled. Looks like a real character.

I'll always miss my Bruce and will never forget him. But I think this little fella will be the one I bring home next week to start again with a new little matey. Just got to think of a NAME now.

At the moment, I like Casper. The missus likes Derek. But I'm open to suggestions...
