It's calm outside and has been all night yet no sign of him My parrot went missing at 12.20am this morning, we have looked for him all night and at frist light, nothing no sign of him

I was given all kinds of misleading advice but the one thing that stood true during the entire episode of Sam's escape was the fact that African Gray's rarely fly more than a mile from home. I went out everyday early in the morning with Sam's favorite bell, mirror and a dish of food and whistled - he finally flew down to me on the 7th day, exhausted and thinner, having been chased by all kinds of birds during his period of "freedom" - his beak showed signs of moss where he had been trying to get moisture and no, they do not know how to feed in the wild and they only get hungrier so going out everyday, calling, whistling, ringing their bells, they will locate you and stay close and eventually hunger will drove them back to you. All I can say is don't give up on them. It is the most heartbreaking feeling to see your beloved parrot fly out the door as I did and you did but believe me, they will not go far unless driven by high winds. Dear Lost Parrot Owner,
