Is Your Budgie Escaped to Outside?

Indoor Escape

1.    Close all windows in the house. If the Budgie is staying in one room close the doors to contain it.

2.    Set up the bird's cage and put some of it's favorite food in it. Just securing the area and waiting for your Budgie to return to its cage is often the best option.

3.    Approach your Budgie and determine if you can pick it up by hand. Remain calm as you approach it. Do not attempt to grab the Budgies are fragile and easily injured.

4.    Spread a sheet out between your arms and attempt to herd your Budgie towards its cage. If doesn't work, you can gently toss the sheet over the Budgie to capture it. Gently gather up your Budgie in the sheet. Unwrap the sheet slowly and grasp your Budgie lightly in your hand. Return it to the cage.

Outdoor Escape

1.    Acquire a recording of a Budgie. Sounds of other Budgies will work to attract your bird back to its cage.

2.    Spread your Budgie's favorite seed in the bottom of the cage. Your Budgie most likely will not fly too far from home so place the cage near the exit it escaped from.

3.    Prop open the door of the cage with a small stick and attach a string to it. Trail the string back inside to where you can easily see the cage.

4.    Play the recording of the Budgie and sit and wait. With any luck your escaped bird will be attracted back to the cage.

5.    Pull the string to close the door once the Budgie has returned to the cage.
