Finding an Escaped Companion Bird

Start searching as soon as you realize your bird is lost.
Place his/her cage outside, with the cage loaded with his/her favorite treats and fresh water; and leave the cage door open.
Walk around the neighborhood and call his/her name.
If you have a recording of the bird's voice, or at least the voice of its species, walk around the neighborhood and play the call from portable speakers. This may help your bird find its "flock."
Let your neighbors know that you lost your bird.
Hang up fliers with a detailed description of your bird and a picture if you have one.
Offer a reward for the safe return of your lost bird.
Place an ad in your local newspapers, some of them place ads about lost and found animals for free.
