What if you find a bird?
Once you know that you’ve found someone’s pet bird. While you might be tempted to keep them, remember that people bond with their birds just like any other pet so they are missing their feathered friend and want them home.
Before giving the bird food or water, please call your local avian veterinarian, animal shelter or Parrot University for recommendations. If the bird has been outside for a long time, it’s important to give them small amounts of water as they may drink too much which can lead to overhydration or water intoxication.
