I will phone the local rescues tomorrow as being out searching most of the day with daughter. a few people said they would knock the door if they saw him. had no sighting of him though- hes quite noisy with a distinctive call so he would attract attention.
Peaches is snuggled up with baby at the moment
- thankfully the baby is old enough not to need dad (dad does the main caring for mom and baby)
I hate knowing hes out there somewhere, he wont survive with other birds, he needs his own food etc and allways lived inside.
I did clip his wings when we first got him so he had limited flight but it seemed kinder to let him fly about house with full feathers- my daughter used to take him out in a flightsuit before so he could fly safely but obviously the temptation was too much today- he saw his chance and took it.
my youngest woke up shouting birds gone, birds gone in her dream so she knows what shes done, I was angry with her earlier as she seemed quite chuffed with herself after she did it
since he went we have had a robin and a beautifull butterfly in the garden-both lovely but not our little bird sky
