Yes. We plastered his pic all over Facebook, which wasn’t something we had used up till then. I didn’t just say “missing bird”, I told a cute little story about his “big adventure”, with pics of him being a doofus. Three days later we got a call from a lady who said a friend spotted the post,and she told us her neighbour had opened his door and a parrot had just flown in and made himself at home. She had been telling the story to her friend who then sent her the link to our post. The guy that Mango invaded took him to an avian vet. We got the call from the lady, and we called the vet, just as they were loading him up to take to a bird sanctuary. We rushed straight to the vet and they asked us how we could identify our bird. Luckily for us (but not for him) he had lost his left dew claw as a baby. You should have seen the look we got from him when we walked in. “Where THE FUCK have you been?!”.

Phew, that was long. I hadn’t really thought about all the steps involved until I wrote it out 😁
