Parrot Lost & Found
This page is for anyone on the Big Island of Hawaii who has lost or found a parrot. We will try hard to help you either reunite with your bird or to find the owner of the one(s) you have found. Please contact us at 808-322-3006 or dorothy@parrotsinparadise.com.
If you’ve lost a bird we’d urge you to do several things, besides contacting us:
- Walk around your neighborhood—lost birds generally don’t go very far;
- Place an ad on craigslist.org (under “pets” and “lost and found” in their “community” section);
- Check the ads in those places every day;
- Put up flyers around your neighborhood;
- Call the Humane Society to make a report as well as near by pet stores & veterinarians;
- Go door to door asking about your bird;
- Don’t give up — you have at least a fair chance of finding your bird if you do all of these things. Especially go out looking around dawn and dusk.
If you find a native wild or injured bird, please visit the Three Ring Ranch Exotic Animal Sanctuary, http://www.threeringranch.org/babybird.html.
