Free as a bird...or two.

I know I haven't posted in awhile...I've been busy working on my projects...but I figured I needed to put this up.

Today, I was going to clean up around my big birds' cage when they apparently got spooked and took off. I had the garage door open at the time, and they flew out and down the street. I chased after them, but they took a turn over the water, and that was it. You might say, duh...you had the door open! But they have never shown any interest in leaving when the door was opened previously.

They have been in an open cage for months...with the garage door opened four times a day, and they never even went close to leaving. They would fly out from their little corner, see that the door was open, and turn around and fly back to the cage. I was completely shocked when they actually left and didn't turn right around.

Anyway, I heard them screaming a little bit later on, but I couldn't tell where they were with the sound echoing through the canal. I put their cage out back with a tortilla chip (one of their favorite snacks) on top hoping they would return if they got hungry...but so far, no sign of them.

We hope they are ok, they have never been out on their own. I hope they stay warm and find some food...or another person to take care of them. It would be pointless for us to try and put up signs or anything. There is no telling how far away they could be by now.

Although it is REALLY quiet around here now...
