Katie, I’m sure my neighborhood budgie is gone. She disappeared about a year ago, right about the time a Coopers hawk began frequenting my yard. I suspect she became food for the hawk’s babies last year.

Kate, where do you live in Pittsburgh? I didn’t lose a blue budgie, but over the past few days there is one visiting my bird feeder too. I did put out a small bird cage – I have several parrots – but so far no luck. I was just wondering if it is the same one.

I’ve never had a pet bird so I’d suggest checking with a vet that treats birds or at a pet store that sells them (privately owned stores will know more than the chain-stores) or I can put you in touch via email with people I know who have budgies. If you want to go the email route, post another comment to let me know.

p.s. I googled “caring for budgerigars” and found this website: http://www.petbudgies.com/ Most of the other websites are about breeding and showing budgies.

I have a spare cage and budgie experience if you need someone to take her. I hope that we are done with the cold nights until she is able to be captured!

If you haven’t already tried them, you can try Craigslist (pets section and lost/found), the Post-Gazette and Western PA Humane Society and Animal Rescue League to see if anyone has reported her lost or to report her found.

May 22 evening:
Budgie continues to do well and is becoming a fast flyer. This morning I discovered that she also visits a feeding zone down the street. She has now claimed my entire bird feeder as her own and won’t let anyone perch next to her when she’s on it. Between feedings she naps on a branch above the feeder – and then she doesn’t care to defend it. She’s having a great time.
