Comments: This bird was flying as part of our long running bird show when a strong wind gust blew her out of the Hawaiian Marketplace theater area. She is trained flyer and always lands quickly to locate her trainer, but in the heavy winds she may have been disoriented. The area has few trees, no predators, but lots of buildings. This bird has been flying in this exact area for 4.5 years and knows it very well. She has been a trained flyer all of her life. Staff, friends, and fans have searched the surrounding area almost continuously for 45+ hours to no avail. We now are starting to think that either she is inside the huge CityCenter Construction Site or that someone has her. The CityCenter Security said we could not search on site. Since Las Vegas visitors are from other areas, esp. S. CA, we are now seeking help in all directions to locate anyone who suddenly appears with a new, super tame Bare-eyed Cockatoo. I cannot begin to describe the devastation that is being felt with misplacing a beloved family member and a long term performance team member.

February3, 2009 - A Congo African Grey was found in Bellflower (between Clark & Bellflower Blvd. a couple blocks north of the 91 freeway) at the beginning of February. It was VERY hungry. Ate a pear, fairly good- sized carrot and 10 grapes before I got to Mom & Dad's house to get it. Ate more after it got to my house. It seems friendly -- likes to have head scritched. I haven't yet offered a finger to step up on since I'm not sure I'm ready for the possible bite. It has flight feathers, so I'm not sure how far it flew.
I can be reached at home (after 6:30 p.m. to midnight) at 562-920-8475 or cell (any time) 562-786-7501.
Sunday 08/17/08 FOUND - Cockatiel flew into Hope Church in Canoga Park , CA at about
On Tues, August 8, I had a dusky Conure stolen at my store in Cypress. (Omar's Exotic Birds by Fran)
It appears that it was just one person, although there was a father and two sons that came in before the bird was taken and they kept one staff member busy putting together a cage with a nest box. Another staff member was busy grooming. Unfortunately I was not there when it happened (I left 15 minutes before), and it happened at

LOST JULY 4, 2008

LOST APRIL 25, 2008Blue and Gold last seen at 180 Mount Olive, Bradbury, CA. Bird's name is Merlin. $100 reward. If you have any information, please contact Rose at rose@parrotsfirst.org.
FOUND JANUARY 31, 2008!!! January 29, 2008 - My two year old African Grey (grey bird with bright red tail) was lost at Euclid & Michigan in Santa Monica, CA on Jan 29th, 2008. Any information regarding the recovery/sightings/sounds is much appreciated. There is a SUBSTANTIAL REWARD.
FOUND!!!! NOVEMBER 20, 2007 - November 19, 2007 - My GW Joe-Joe got out yesterday and flew off. He isn't supposed to be able to fly.
Joey is a 2.5 year-old, male, Green Wing Macaw. He weighs 1373g. He has an extensive vocabulary. He has unusual blue wing feathers. They appear normal until you look at the part under the next feather, that section is colored bright pink. He is DNA'd, so I can have him tested if proof of township becomes a problem.
He was lost on 11/18/2007, at . He was last seen flying low and to the south. He is not supposed to be able to fly, so there is a good chance he will be on the ground (I pray not) or in lower branches or bushes. I am especially worried because our nighttime low is in the low 40's and is only going to get colder.
He was in an abusive home and doesn't trust people. It took me over 1 year to get him to let me touch him and I am currently the only one who can. So if you find him, please call and I will arrive immediately to get him.
I love this bird greatly and have worked with for almost 2 years to get over his mistrust of humans. I have made great headway with him and it has been a joy to see. I cannot tell you or express how desperately I love him and want him back. His other flock-mates, Chadwick (Yellow-Collar Macaw) and Angel (Goffin's Cockatoo), also miss him greatly.
I can use any and all help in locating him. I am offering $100 for anyone who tells me where he is and their tip pans out.
Please pray for his quick return.
Thanks,
Dodi

June 19, 2007 - BIRD SIGHTED - A Military Macaw was seen this evening in a tall eucalyptus tree near the corner of 9th and Rimpau (near Los Angeles High School). He was loud as he peeled back the bark from tree branches. He flew off to the north (towards Hancock Park). A Military Macaw used to hang out in this tree five years ago. It might be the same bird, or it might be a coincidence.

May 26, 2007 - STOLEN Subject: Stolen Macaw and African Grey (Fresno area) Stolen - African Grey and Macaw - Fresno area On Saturday May 26, 2007 at 8:00am, (in Fresno area) thieves used bolt cutters to remove the locks, then stole my sister's Congo African Grey and Blue and Gold Macaw parrots from her backyard. This has been a devastating event for my sister Sandi, since she is single and loves them like children. Both birds are attached to each other as their cages have been next to each other for the last 15 years. Sandi is very concerned about their stress levels because they are extremely attached to her and their environment. Because we believe that the thieves may sell them to unsuspecting buyers who won't be able to handle them they may be sold again or be abandoned or become rescue birds. We are asking you to please save this letter so if in the future month when birds that may fit their description come across your path you would please contact us.
Roady - An African Grey has lived with Sandi for over 20 years and has never been sexed. She was full feathered and very healthy. Some of her favorite words "Sandi, or Sandra" She whistles the Andy Griffin Show theme song and other names she calls are "Johnny, Major, and Milo " She likes to imitate a rooster, peacock, hammer, telephone, mumble on phone, kitten, dog barking, moos like a cow (lives a on dairy) Whispers "Shhhh, be quiet!" Makes kissing noises, Donald Duck voice and giggles with Major.
Major - A Blue and Gold Macaw is 15 years old and has been raised by Sandi since she was 6 weeks old and was surgery sexed. Major was full feathered and healthy but can only be handled by Sandi. She does have a titanium band on her right foot, not sure if the number is still visible. She did lose a large number of feathers in the struggle when she was stolen. Her favorite phrases, "Milo,get the ball!" and screams Milo's name. She screams the word "Mom" HI! HI! HI! "Grace, Out! Out! Out!" "Ouch, stop that!" And screams like a little girl(from the neighborhood). "Good boy, Major!" Our main concern is the bird's safety and getting them home as soon as possible with limit amount of stress. No questions asked, just want their safe return.
