What a day!

waited all day for the lost and found parrots uk to ring back, he said that he didn't cross reference the galah with y galah because it would be too far away!!! er, no it wouldn't. Then he said that Birdline had been asked to pick a bird up, they couldn't arrange it, so one of the vet staff had taken the galah home.
So, still on the phone, no one knows the name of the vets! But it was in Halifax so about to email all then vets in Halifax! so no, no news about Lexxi, it could be her, I have to find out.

Oh poor you Margy your nerves must be shredded, so still in limbo! It is a fair distance but abit of a coincidence for two galah cockatoos to go missing about same time. Hope you get some good news soon x

I really feel for you Margy. When Gee escaped, I recieved a random phone call from someone who thought she had my budge.

I put my jeans and shoes back on with one hand whilst on the phone to the woman with the other.....then she said she was in the South East frown According to her, it was entirely plausible for a budgie to travel so far.

There is a thread on here somewhere with members comparing 'our Gee' and the bird, similiar looking who was found....

They are plucky (no pun). Never give up hope...x

What a nightmare, but keep the hope. As you say it could be her and not finding out would torment you for ever.

Is there anything any of us can do to help ? Also, have you phoned Birdline ? They would know the location of where the bird could have been picked up from, that could help locate the vet.

I think we are all suffering with you on here Margy. Suggestion that you phone everyone of them tomorrow as well as emailing.

Spoken to birdline, a few times, Halifax but nothing more as the vet was supposed to get back to them, Could be that someone claimed the galah, thats why they didn't get back. Will phone but working in the morning and no chance at all to phone whilst they are open. Usually only a couple of hours on a saturday. Had a few more 'nasty' calls from kids, thinking they are so clever but not that clever that they don't hide their numbers! a couple of calls of parrot noises, which have been investigated. It's a waiting game I feel.....which it would just hurry itself up!

That's ok but ask if you need, I'm sure we would all help if we could.
What a beautiful bird, Margy.

Margy... On the possibility of her heading for Halifax, I've dug up the wind details for the 18th,19th and 20th Feb.2015. Using "Wirral" as the reference point, the mean wind speeds on those days were:

18th Feb. SW 25-32mph
19th Feb SSW 25mph
20th Feb W 19mph

On the 18th and 19th, Halifax would have been downwind(ish). Depends I suppose on how strong a flier she is, even with a following wind?

We are all still hoping for a happy outcome on this.

Thats pointing to her not being in Halifax or even Huddersfield as BL have decided now that it wasn't halifax, though ca't really remember!
She's a flier but not air fit, aviary fit yes, but not air fit, think she may have been blown down wind not upwind. Thank you for that, though I still need to follow this through to see where she is. I'll post a bit later of where we are up to xx

No replies from any of the vets in Halifax. A very kind soul called Scarlett, kindly offered to phone all the vets for me this morning whilst I really was tied up at work. she not only phoned the vets and asked them if they had had a Galah handed in but also called the person from Birdline who took the call from the vets.

To cut a long story short, BL person didn't take any contact details as she was expecting the vets to call back after they had taken ring number and called John Hayward to let him know about the Galah. They didn't. She hadn't taken any details she said but it was definitely Halifax. After speaking to Scarlett, being asked to find the telephone records and trace it back from there, she couldn't she said as they had hundreds of calls! She then phoned hubby, while I was at work and decided it could have been Huddersfield!

So, back to work finding the numbers of the vets in Huddersfield, sending them all emails and as I'm at work yet again, all day, Scarlett has kindly offered to do the telephone part!

The husband is really hopeless at this kind of thing unless it's for a motorbike part and to be honest, I know if Scarlett gets on the phone she won't be fobbed off, she can smell a rat a mile off.

Really frustrating I know, trying very hard to stay calm and to take things in my stride.. Can't say it's very proffessional of BL to not take a contact number. This may not be Lexxi, but if a Galah has been handed in, I want to make absolutely sure it's not her. I've got to.

Had a sighting in West Kirby, Bolton Avenue to be precise. A man phoned this afternoon, said he saw her saturday morning 6.30 am. in a tree in his garden. didn't know about any missing galah's until he saw the poster today.

So thats another lead to go and investigate. Keep your eyes out West Kirbites please!
