My friend is devastated: her little canary flew away. [View all]
The bird had been in a cage with a few moments of liberty on her shoulder for more than a decade. The wings were clipped so it wouldn't be able to fly away. (I know, I know. That's another sore subject.)
She had the little bird on her shoulder and opened the door to throw bread crumbs to assembled ducks on her doorstep and the bird suddenly took flight. High, high, high into the sky. It circled but didn't return or perch on a nearby tree branch or bush. It's gone since two days ago.
She called the police and the special animal rescue unit and the local animal hospital. All they could advise her was to continue to look around the property as the bird was incapable of long-distance flight theoretically and to keep her eyes on the ground where it could be just chilling. And to put out seed on a plate near their door.
What else can she do? She feels guilty and worried for the safety of the bird.
