Answer
Hi, Anita.  Thanks for posting.

I'm sorry to hear this.  The chances of this bird finding it's way back home are slim to none, unless someone finds/catches him and returns him to you.  He has no idea where he lives.  In fact, this bird will most likely not survive in the cold weather.  Also, the bird doesn't know how to fend for itself in the wild, so it will not know how to find food, etc.  I think you've done about all you can do to try to find him.  

This is a good reason why parrot's flight feathers should be kept clipped in situations where birds are allowed free-flight in the home.
