gem_scott Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Anyone in Chch lost a rainbow? My neighbour came over today knowing i had a lori and wondering if id lost him cause they have found one, no i hadn't lost mine but we went over to see him and ended up taking him off their hands (they were happy to be rid of him). Once i get the camera tomorrow i will post some pictures. I have called vets, SPCA, council and am in the process of making fliers and distributing them etc. I just thought that maybe the owner is a fish person too =) Have any other ideas of what i can do? Or anyone know someone who i could give him/her to in the Christchurch area if i dont find the owner in time (im moving on the 14th of may). Any info would help!

cichlid7 Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 possibly put up a found add on trade me? but then you could just get anyone say they lost their bird. if you can not find a home for it i could take it off your hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikBok Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 you can put free adds on trademe lost and found.. and also www.petsonthenet.co.nz just say you've found a small parrot and don't add the photo.. that way people will have to tell you what they've lost and not just claim a free bird! Good luck with finding the owners.. they must be feelign very anxious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 All good ideas. You can also try posting on my friend's website as well (http://www.thepethub.co.nz/). They do lost and found things there quite a bit. BikBok's suggestion about just listing it as a 'small parrot' is a great idea. If you don't find its home before you go I can hold it for a while. Good luck and well done for trying to find its family - I am sure they are desperately worried. It is so cold out there tonight as well!

gem_scott Posted May 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 yeah im going to put up a found on trademe and pets on the net, thats a good idea about not saying what type of bird he is! I dont have a large enough cage for him to live in but if you can buy one and it comes to the 12th and i still havent got his owner then you can come pick him up =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gem_scott Posted May 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 I am really keen to find his owner as i was so upset when mine went missing, it was only for 36 hour but i would have gone insane if it were longer! Oh pethub! iv been trying to think of what that one was called! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gem_scott Posted May 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Iv just had someone on trademe's community message board that their friend has lost a lorikeet in wainoni, thats like 5mins away! I hope its for real Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix44 Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 is it friendly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gem_scott Posted May 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Yeah its really friendly and it flies over to sit on our shoulders. Petrie hates him though! Hes like a jealous toddler! Unfortunately this new bird has made himself quite at home and is flying caually around the room just looking and cleaning his beak on the curtains. The person on trademe has been franticly calling her friend to find out if she found her lori yet but hasnt been able to get in contact with her so im not sure if that will work out but im still hoping. Oh just while we are on the topic of lorikeets does anyone know why they have different colour skin around their eyes and beak? its either white or black depending on the bird. Petries is white but the new bird (currently nodding into a plastic bag) has black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gem_scott Posted May 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 The stupid bird is trying to bath in my fish tank :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gem_scott Posted May 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Ok so my bird started to feel a bit left out, so i have given the bird to a lady i have delt with before. she has another lorikeet and two other cockatiels. Im not sure if she will want to keep him after she has has him for a while but i hope she does. I am now free of the flying monster! :bounce: nah he wasnt that bad when he didnt fly around the room screaching! Still no one has called me or text me about him so i dont think anyone is looking for him =( poor guy but he has a good home now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
