oh ... i am shocked, and so very sorry for you Rosie...
i hope very much that you get them back....
a friend of mine recently lost one of her hand raised pastel blue Indian ring neck parrots, it was only 6 months old, and was going to be a present for her mother....
with a bit of luck Willow will turn up.. tiels are personable animals, so someone should find her...

i too have had a string of bad luck...
first, my darling budgie, Queen passed away following an incident with egg binding..
then on Christmas eve, my real estate turned up at my door, and said my house has been sold and i have 30 days to move...
and finally just the other night i crashed my dads car into a tree on a bad dark gravely corner, in the rain... luckily i escaped with minor injuries, but the car was ruined...
i hope our luck turns around...
just remember, you would never be able to appreciate all the wonderful things in life, if there wasnt the terrible things to show you how good the good things are...

 

Thanks guys. Yes, I am extremely pleased to have her back so quickly, and very thankful that my neighbour saw her. If it wasn't for them then she might still be out there. I am looking forward to making her a big treat tomorrow (with Brocolli in of course ).

I totally agree, as I said it turned from being the worst new years day ever to one of the best because Willow was found. Also, I do hope your luck gets better soon.

Give her a big hug from us. :lol::clap:

olly&izzy - Yep I sure will, but tomorrow she's sleeping now hehe.

I bet you will be double checking doors and windows before you open her cage next time huh? LOL.

Oh yes, I've become so paranoid LOL. Everything is locked when the birds come out. What is especially irratating is that the dog has learnt to open the door, so she could come barging in any moment.

 

i hope that willow and bobby return to you and i hope that you and debree420 luck gets better!!

 

Oh Rosie!! I really don't know what to say, I feel so sad for you. Hopefully Willow will turn up in the nearby neighbourhood. Big hugs.....keep looking.

 

OH Rose!!! I am so sorry that is just devasting to have two birds leave you like that within a short space of time, I can't even imagine what you must be going through right now, hopefully with all the posters up someone will see her and return her to you.

 

oh Rosie I can't say Iam so sorry enough I hope they come back to you. Don't give up.

 

Oh Rosie, poor you! I was so shocked to read the title of this thread and I can only say how sorry I am to hear about Willow. You've done all you can for now so keep looking for her and maybe you'll be together again soon. I know how much Willow meant to you.
I hope that both your babies come back.

Rosie I am so sorry, I feel horiible. I wish we could help you look for them.

 

My heart dropped when I read this title. I don't even know what to say to you Rosie. I am so sorry...This is why having flighted birds scares me. I don't think I'd have them flighted if I lived with anyone in the house..I would be to afraid of accidents like this. I'm SO sorry...

 

Thanks everyone - you are all so sweet. The extra great news is that Willow is now safely back home. I am extremely lucky. This is what happened. One of my neighbours that I had told that Willow was missing urgently came knocking on the door, saying that she had been sitting on their fence. But when we got there she had flown off, and they thought into their neighbour's garden. So we checked there - no sign. So we thought she must have flown round to some more gardens round the back. We then began knocking on people's doors to check their gardens LOL. It was then I heard a distinct wolf whistle coming from a nearby tree, and I knew it was her, bless her. So off we went, knocked on the house of the garden that we thought Willow was in. Nobody was in. We had no choice but to grab the ladder, ruin their pansies :blush: and get her down with the help of rice crispies (her fave). Apparently we looked like something out of a comedy sketch, Dad carrying a long stick, me carrying a net and Mum carrying a ladder LOL. We managed to reach her and bring her down, thank God.

Anyway, I am just soooo glad she is back - its turned from being the worst New Years day to the best (well, sort of). Better rush, Willow's begging to come out.

 

woo good to hear willow is back home and safe!!

 

Oh fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rosie that is marvellous, you are just soooo lucky to have got her back. I can imagine all of you armed with the rescue equipment. Well, you enjoy her now and I bet you will be double checking doors and windows before you open her cage next time huh? LOL.

 

That is incredibly lucky that you've found her! You have no idea how unlikely that scenerio is! I am VERY happy for you!

 

So glad to hear that you found her!!! what a blessing it is to have found her so soon.

 

I am SO happy to hear that Willow is back!!! I was so upset to read this thread, but it's turned out so well for you and her!!!

 

yea! yeah! YEAH! I'm so glad. What a great end to that story. Give her a big hug from us. :lol::clap:

 

I am so pleased that she is back. It must have been extremely sad to lose her. I am sure she is happy to be back and safe!

DeBree, *hugs* I hope your luck gets better soon!!

 

I couldn't believe it when I read it, that is so awesome that you found her and so quickly your really lucky

 

:thumbu: Yeah! Iam so happy for you Iam so glad she is back :clap:

 

Being over paranoid is just fine in this case. I am too.

 

YEY! I'm so happy for you!
This event couldn't have had a better ending! Give Willow tons of love and tell her never to go out without her Mummy again.

So glad she is back. I have fully flighted birds and this is always a worry but they are in my bed room which is in the back of this place. I've had my scare with this. Mom left my room door open and normally they wont go out but something scared sonic out and mom had the front door open. Horrible part about this is he went in the pourchwhere the door was open). The front door wasn't long being closed, sonic got scouped up and back into the room.

Now just to hope you get your budgie bobby(??) back.

 

Yes, it is a worry especially with other people in the house. We have learnt from this to be EXTRA careful, checking every door as we get the birds out. You had a lucky escape with Sonic. Theres no stopping them once their outside. Bobby especially was gone in a flash. I am hoping & praying he will turn up. I have tried phoning the RSPCA loads, but they won't pick up the phone. I will try again tomorrow. If he has been picked up the I think the first place people would take stray birds would be the RSPCA...

 

If they don't pick up. I would go there with a flyer

 

OH MY WORD Rosie...I just read the thread...and I could not believe what I was reading...will Willow missing...I remember when you got her and where choosing her name...it was around the time I got Ella...I am so so SO glad you found the sweet girl....YAY

 

I think i'm lucky, the way our house is set up there is no one door to get outside, whether you go out the front or the back you have to go through two doors. It makes having the birds out so much safer.
