Question
Do you have any advice for a friend who's teil flew out of the house this morning. It is used to getting out in the house but flew away a short time ago. Any chance it will return?

Answer
My advice is leave the cage near the house(outside) on a stand so its visable to the bird, Call the bird or make noises it would come to you by such as clicking your tounge or whisling, leave fresh food and water in the cage and some spray millet pin the cage door open and leave it there. Place lost bird signs up aroudn the neighberhood stating the bird is lost and if it is seen not caught please call your number as the bird will likely be seen before it comes near enough to be caught anyways, once you know where the bird has been spotted grab the cage or a smaller lighter travel cage and go to the location call the bird if hes in the area he'll hear you dangle his fvorite toys against the bars or ring his fvorite bell whatever you can do to get a response from you, if the bird is well tamed and loves its owner it will come to the person once it sees them and its cage.
