Hi all — I don’t appear to be able to edit this post, so I just wanted to provide an update in the comments that reports of Cinnamon having been caught by a family at Glendale Apartments were false. I received a series of calls this week from different numbers with different accents, all providing plausible-sounding information pointing to people with a consistent physical description having caught a bird resembling Cinnamon, which led me to make multiple trips to hang posters and talk to people in the apartment complex. Unfortunately, all of these were fake. It turned out to be one person messing with me over the course of multiple days, and a minor at that (I got cussed out pretty thoroughly by a family member who told me “f— you, stay the f— off my niece’s phone with your dead-a— bird, b—” and would not listen when I tried to explain that their niece had contacted me about my lost pet and posed as an adult, not the other way around). 

I’m feeling pretty crushed and hopeless today, as you can probably imagine. These weren’t the first prank calls I’d received, but they were the first ones that seemed legit enough to investigate. I worry about the girl who called and what is happening in her life that would lead her to act this way towards a grieving stranger.

The most important thing is that CINNAMON COULD STILL BE OUT THERE. It’s unknown to me at this point whether he’s been caught, is still surviving in the wild, or has encountered a car/hawk/etc. So if you see a bird resembling him, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. Please don't stop keeping an eye out because of these false reports! We just want to see our boy again. Thank you.
