LOST
COCKATIEL - BELOIT, WISCONSIN (NEAR ILLINOIS BORDER)
On August 10, 2001 we lost Rusty who is a male Pied Cockatiel. He is
yellow in color, bright orange cheeks and gray tipped wings. Rusty is approximately
8 years old. He says a few phrases and sings...his favorite being the cuckoo
clock. He prefers women over men, and while he doesn't like fingers, he is loving and will fly on your shoulder or chest. Rusty also gives kisses and plays
peek-a-boo. He was last seen in Beloit, Wisconsin.
He flew away after his cage was bumped
which loosened his door. I had secured him in his cage and placed him on the porch, as I normally do when I am doing
throughout house cleaning to prevent him from inhaling any possibly harmful chemicals. My 5 year old tripped and fell on his cage, loosening the latch on his door. I live in Wisconsin but just 3 miles from the Illinois state line. If you receive any information that closely resembles Rusty I would appreciate it if you would contact me immediately.

On November 2, 2000 I found what I believe is a cockatiel on my front
porch. It is safe, fed, happy and in a cage right now, but I would love to
find the owner. I believe it is a male and it has a ID tag on its
claw. The bird was found in the Edison Park area of Chicago, which
is at the far Northwest side, about 3 miles east of O'Hare. I will want
the owner to identify the color and tag ID before releasing the bird.

Cockatiel - Skokie
I am desperately searching for my lost bird who was last seen on June 8,
2000. She is a greyish/white Cockatiel, named Cinnamon. She is friendly, hand raised, and very tame.
She comes to the sound of a crumpling potato chip bag. I realize that she can be anywhere by now, but I am hopeful that someone with the knowledge and
heart will rescue her, and take care of her. If anyone reports her found, please contact me,

Missing African Grey in Metamora
My CAG, Kalmack flew out my door tonight, 7/9/99,
around 8:00pm. I did not see what way he flew away. I live in Metamora, Illinois
and my phone number is 309-444-8853. He has some identifiable patterns of speech
and makes certain noises. I am really worried as we are supposed to get some bad
storms tonight. There is not much around me but farms so I don't know if he got
lost in a corn field or flew to the woods that are about 10 acres away. We have
lots of hawks so that has me really concerned as well. He is unbanded (per vets
request). EMail at BIRD911@PARROTTALK.COM
