This is from a man on another board who lost his GW, Maggie. It is just devastating so I thought I would share this here just in case someone is from that area. I hope she comes home safe and sound very soon.
Sarah and I are both hurting very badly tonight.,,
She called me earlier, and said, "I've been telling everyone for years that Maggie and I are about the same age. This bird is a lifetime companion, and we are going to grow old together. Now that's looking like it's just not going to happen... she's got to come home!"
Needless to say we were both bawling our eyes out by the end of that particular conversation...
IF YOU FOUND HER IN YOUR YARD, SHE CAN'T POSSIBLY EVER MEAN TO YOU, WHAT SHE MEANS TO US... THIS IS A MEMBER OF OUR FAMILY!
SHE CAN'T STAND BEING CAGED....
SHE'S BONDED TO US, WHICH MEANS SHE'LL PROBABLY THROW TANTRUMS IF YOU TRY TO KEEP HER...
MOST PEOPLE SIMPLY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF A HUGE MACAW LIKE MAGGIE, ESPECIALLY ONE WHO HAS BEEN OUT AND ABOUT FOR OVER A DECADE... SHE WON'T BE HAPPY!!!
EVERYONE IN THIS AREA KNOWS US, AND KNOWS SHE'S MISSING...
PLEASE, IF YOU FIND HER, TAKE THE REWARD MONEY AND BRING HER HOME. SHE BELONGS HERE... WITH THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE LOVED HER FOR OVER A DECADE!!!
PLEASE GOD, HAVE A HEART... !!!!
