This is very OT but just wanted to share because I'm just so very happy.
Yesterday, my cockatiel got scared and flew away while me and him were sitting outside in the sun (he's completely tame and loves sitting on my shoulder). Needless, to say, I was devastated, and had a terrible 24 hours.
Fortunately, he ended up in one my neighbors backyards, and I was able to get him back just a few hours ago. It looks like he's been attacked by bigger birds, as he's missing a few feathers on his head, but seems to be OK otherwise.
I am SO relieved!
Here's a pic of him from a month ago:
Cheers, thanks for reading.
