Our cockatiel, Harvey, flew out the door yesterday and my husband and I are devastated. We have put up fliers (can hardly miss those thanks to Cliff stapling them to every pole on the street!), called all the vets in Long Beach, Gulfport and Pass Christian, notified Long Beach and Gulfport animal control, put ads in the paper and online and called the humane society. Harvey is very loving and he loves to play with people so I am hoping he will land on someone. This is a strange favor to ask, but if you are outside and remember him will you call out his name once or twice? The vet said since he is so friendly he may just land on someone's head if he hears his name.

Good luck.
