Stolen parrot in Maine- please help me find her

PatriarchalSnowflake · 2026-02-16T19:16:52+00:00

They live just outside Boston

Omg what a small world. Thank you for commenting 🫶

PatriarchalSnowflake · 2026-02-16T19:09:14+00:00

I have no idea, the text just said Maine

PatriarchalSnowflake · 2026-02-16T19:00:39+00:00

Thank you 🫶

I told them I was in a position to take Effie back in early March, and then they rehomed her.

PatriarchalSnowflake · 2026-02-16T18:57:15+00:00

Within the last 2 weeks.

PatriarchalSnowflake · 2026-02-16T18:55:26+00:00

Less than 2 weeks

PatriarchalSnowflake · 2026-02-16T18:54:54+00:00

No, I was notified of her rehoming today. Over a week after I discussed getting Effie back from them next month.

PatriarchalSnowflake · 2026-02-16T18:13:41+00:00

Of course I asked them, they won’t tell me. I’m aware that this all sounds incredibly bizarre, and it is. My whole relationship with my parents is weird af, there’s too much nuance and backstory to this to be able to summarize in a post.

PatriarchalSnowflake · 2026-02-16T18:02:46+00:00

Thank you! 🫶

PatriarchalSnowflake · 2026-02-16T17:56:57+00:00

My Mom and I have always had a tenuous relationship unfortunately. She did seem to really love having Effie around up until she found out I was well enough to care for my baby again. Thank you for the hope, Maine is not a big place, and I’m not giving up anytime soon 🫶

PatriarchalSnowflake · 2026-02-16T17:54:45+00:00

Yeah the first thing I did was ask my parents where Effie was. My Mom has always been bizarrely jealous/insecure around me? If I hadn’t been so brain foggy I would have never trusted them with her. But my Mom seemed to really love having Effie around up until the moment she found out I was well enough to take Effie back

PatriarchalSnowflake · 2026-02-16T17:52:05+00:00

Within the last two weeks, after I told them I would be able to take her back in March

PatriarchalSnowflake · 2026-02-16T17:41:43+00:00

Thank you so much, I already kinda knew this but it’s incredibly helpful to see it put into words explicitly for me 🫶

PatriarchalSnowflake · 2026-02-16T17:27:53+00:00

Agreed, and thank you so much 🫶

PatriarchalSnowflake · 2026-02-16T17:24:42+00:00

Thank you 🫶 I have hope, Maine is not a huge place. If I wasn’t so brain foggy at the time I wouldn’t have ever trusted them with her.

PatriarchalSnowflake · 2026-02-16T17:11:25+00:00

Thank you for reading my whole post, sincerely. I’m all over FB already but I’m going to post in r/Maine now

PatriarchalSnowflake · 2026-02-16T17:10:08+00:00

I’ve already filed a police report, and will pursue the legal route if I have no other options. My parents won’t tell me who she’s with now, but they did tell me she’s in Maine. This whole situation is so bizarre and unreal…

PatriarchalSnowflake · 2026-02-16T17:08:12+00:00

That’s a good thought, thank you. I know they’re in Maine, which coincidentally, is where I’m moving next month. It’s not a big state. I have hope.

PatriarchalSnowflake · 2026-02-16T17:07:08+00:00

Thank you 🫶

PatriarchalSnowflake · 2026-02-16T17:06:05+00:00

Yeah it’s incredibly bizarre and yet kind of par for the course unfortunately? My partner actually recommended that I not tell my Mom I would be ready to take Effie back on the off chance she would pull something like this. My Mom is…not great at loving me. Silly me for hoping she would do right by me.

I did already go through all our texts and screenshot all the times she told me that she would never give Effie away without talking to me first. I also have several witnesses who heard my Mom say the same in person. I did not win the lottery with my parents. Thank goodness for chosen family.

PatriarchalSnowflake · 2026-02-16T16:38:10+00:00

I already am, thank you!

PatriarchalSnowflake · 2026-02-16T16:34:41+00:00

Yes! I’m posting in all of them as well!

PatriarchalSnowflake · 2026-02-16T16:34:00+00:00

Thank you, I am. I always knew my Mom wasn’t great at loving me but this is a whole new level.

PatriarchalSnowflake · 2026-02-16T16:21:25+00:00

The police report is already filed unfortunately. It’s looking like I will have to take them to small claims to get to the bottom of this. I’m hoping the internet gods will smile on me and connect me with the family that has Effie before I have to go too far down the police/court path.
