I heard a consistent familiar call that did not belong in nature!
A plaintive call almost the same as when Australia loses to South Africa in a sporting event, most notably rugby 🤣
This Cockatiel is an Australian bird that has somehow ended up in a cage in South Africa and he decided to make his escape into nature.
So now he ended up high in a tree screaming anxiously that will be sure to draw the predators.
Come and have a look!
It was one of those weird high wind days with icicles in the air that form a halo around the sun!
I found him after tracing his call and he was high up in one of the trees!
A beautiful parrot like bird that many keep as pets!
But what is a Cockatiel?
"The cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus), also known as weiro bird, or quarrion, is a small parrot that is a member of its own branch of the cockatoo family endemic to Australia. They are prized as household pets and companion parrots throughout the world and are relatively easy to breed".

Amazing that the name "hollandicus" appears in the specie name, as one would assume that it's a Dutch bird.
Another look at the icicle halo around the sun!
Here the guy was having a bit of sleepy Sunday serenity!
No way that I could get him, even though we tried.
There was no way that I could get him, even though I whistled and placed a white dish out with parrot seeds below the tree.
So, eventually he flew away and I lost him.
Reminded me of so many things in life.
Amazingly the icicles in the air also formed a halo around the moon!
In life at times, we can see it, some object that we would dearly love to get and we try our very best to get it, but then it disappears.
Has this ever happened to you?
And that's All Friends!

Oh! He's completely white! Maybe he was home and accidentally flew away? We have such cases.
Yes, that was also our thoughts, but the sad thing is that he will not survive in nature!
Once these birds escape they stand little to no chance in the wild, we have managed in prior years to home them after similar predicament.
Caging any animal goes against every fiber in my body, however in a rescue mission I have had cockatiels a couple of times, advertised, never found their owners either.
He might even be dead by now already Lady Joan, but you know me and if there was any posibillity to get him I would have. Just impossible in that high tree even with a water hose. as the wind simply blew the water away.
I was so hoping that he would come down to get some food, but bo luck.
We are the same as far as cages are concerned, but yeah, we also have an emegency cage that has seen many temporary resints. The last one was the rock pigeon that I set free on Saturday morning. The strange thing is that we got her on the 14th and exactly two weeks later she was free. By day she flew alll around in the house here, struggling in the beginning, but getting stronger every day.
Poor Troy had many heart attacks, but when she was ready to go, she took off like a champion.
Great that you rescued them cockatiels my friend.
Blessings!
Was it a cry for help?
I feel for the cockatiel!
Will it survive?
Yes, a very lost cry my friend, but he was unreachable and by now will be dead.
A pity that I could not get to him.
But such is life!
Oh my...
I hate thinking about that!!! . 🥰🌺🤙
!ENGAGE
Yes and so do I, especially knowing that I could have saved him.
If only I could get to him, but it was impossible, so I just have to accept it.
Thankfully I have saved many and that eases the pain.
Blessings and thank you for the token my friend.
Cheers and !BEER
