Lost cockatiel

Artesa Bell Drive, Riverview FL

Description

Lost Cockatiel! Hand fed baby now adult - Amazon left a package, I opened the door, the dogs barked and scared the birds and in an instant, he (“Ernie”) flew right out the door over my shoulder. The couple (Bert and Ernie) cockatiels have an open cage during the day and they come in and out and climb around. They sit with me in my home office and have been a blessing while working from home during covid. They are very skidish when the dogs bark to alert and routine fly a few feet and land. His wings are clipped but he has a big tail which must afforded him so much lift. He soared right out the door, over the neighbors 20’ tree and east down Artesa Bell Drive. Earnie is super people friendly, commonly sings tv show theme songs and pop songs. He will come by name and if you say step up, he will climb on your hand or shoulder. He has large orange spots on his cheeks. He flock calls when he is scared, a loud screeching and repetitive whistle. I suspect he probably isn’t more than a block away in a tree or hiding in the landscaping of a neighbor. If you hear a bird whistle that sounds like a familiar toon, please calll his name and he will come to you. I am offering a reward and it could be substantial. If he doesn’t return, I fear Bert (the female) will likely die from losing her mate. The human family is also quite upset. Please be on the look out. Thank you and I appreciate your help!
