(Juvenile male Indian Ringneck, Psittacula krameri manillensis)

Harley is a highly trained free flight bird. However, late last year he escaped from his aviary and has not returned. Most likely someone has found him and kept him. He’s friendly and a sought after colour mutation. Sadly, it is common for people to keep birds they find. However many birds like Harley are microchipped and can be scanned at vets so their owners can be notified. There are also numerous ways to reunite a bird with its owner using facebook groups, parrot-owner communities and organisations like the Lost Pet Finder. If you find a pet bird, please actively search for the owner. Many birds have successfully been reunited with their owners, even after many years.
