Description is lots of red, yellow, blue and green...owner unfamiliar with different types of conures, but sounds like a Sun Conure. Any information, please call Christina Becerra at 520-884-7783, or page her at 520-930-4222. 11/11/98 - FOUND, AZ - I got a call this morning from a guy who has a parrot in his tree outside. He said it's a pretty big green bird that talks with red on the bends of his wings. Sounds like an amazon. I haven't seen anyone on the lists missing one, but I just thought I'd spread the word around. We are trying to get someone over there to help catch the bird. Amber apuckett@DANCRIS.COM UPDATE: Sybil and TJ went out this morning and managed to catch the amazon that was in the tree. They do not want to say what kind it is until they can find the owners. The bird is in isolation and although very hungry, seems healthy and not too badly affected by this ordeal. They were able to catch the bird by sitting on the ground and spreading a feast from TJ's feet to his knees and eventually the hungry bird came down and began to eat. They made no quick moves to "grab" the bird knowing that they had exactly one chance to get it right. From the time they left w/ the bird it took approx. one hour.

And sadly, the rug, (where some feathers were also) was frayed where Aggie must have been trying her best to hold on with her beak. This is very upsetting as poor Aggie is probably terrified, if still alive. If you get any info, notice a new bird in a pet store that fits this etc., please let us know and we will forward.

If found and unwanted, please contact MNDePlume@aol.com 7/28/98 - FOUND, NH - Last night a neighbor brought a parrot to me that they found in a tree. He is at least twice the size of a cockatiel, perhaps like a mini-macaw. The majority of his body is dark green. His head is black, a very tiny bare/brown spot around the eye with a hint of white directly under the eye. After the black head there is a border of rust before his body turns green. He is in full flight. His primaries are dark cobalt blue as is his tale. His chest has a light blue similar to a quaker. He has orange pants. His cere is black. His beak is black. His feet are skin colored. We found him 20 miles north of Concord, NH. Since he's fully flighted, he could have come from just about anywhere. He ate fast and furiously, so that further tells me that he went some distance. He is tame. Understands the up command and mumbles a little. I think one of his words is "Pretty Bird." Contact: SBrusseau@FDIC.gov 6/4/99 - FOUND, NJ - Harrington Park (Bergen County) New Jersey or surrounding area. Parakeet (Budgie) Color: Pale Blue/White with some Black spots.

I wrote a short time ago about how her bad wing clip is finally growing out and she is flying. I took her to the vet last week and she advised me to wait to clip her until more feathers have grown in. I was sure that Pammie would be safe, since the only way she could get out is through the balcony door which I rarely open. But tonight, I opened it for just a second to pick a tomato for dinner, she startled, and she was gone! And it's all because of my carelessness! I suspect she is in one of the tall elms in the park blocks in downtown Portland. Please keep us in your prayers.

He's a happy, gentle and affectionnate bird and in great condition. A & G Atwood P.O. 27515 Jerusalem, Israel 91274 atwood@netvision.net.il SUNS, NANDAY, QUAKER: During July and Aug. of 1996, we had two H/F Sun Conures, and a H/F Nanday conure stolen from our store. Each was taken on a different day, while a different salesperson was working. This led us to make the purchase of, and installation of, a video system to watch the store. A few days after installation of this video system, we were hit again and a H/F Quaker parakeet was stolen, but this time we have pictures of the theft taking place. Although the pictures are not of the quality we would like, they should be good enough for prosecution if we could ID the perp. When we showed the video to a Sheriff's Deputy, he said, "My god, he put that bird in his shirt, and calmly walked out". The actions of both the thief and the woman are so obvious, that everyone who has seen the tape immediately knew that she was here to keep the salesperson busy in another part of the store while he stole the bird. Our store is in a small town, Rolla, Missouri, which is about halfway between St. Louis, and Springfield, Mo. codybird@rollanet.org The following pictures are clips from the surveillance video:
