My bird flew away! How to get it back
The first hours matter. Where to look and how to lure your bird down.
Keep the bird in sight, place its cage outside, search high, call and listen at dawn and dusk, lure it down with favourite food or its companion and never spray it with water. Advertise widely and prevent with screens and recall training.
