    It is sad. It would not be a hard bird to miss. I also hope he or she is located and returned to his family.

    As you might guess, this report is especially impactful to me since I can imagine it being my Zaf and because it occurred so near to where we live
    He wanted to live. He was my Heaven... He's gone!

    Was it stolen or is it having an adventure?

    Not Stolen. He somehow escaped while being cared for during his owner's hospitalization. You can read the search/recovery effort dialog, here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...1349463&type=3

    Oh dear, perhaps he was trying to find his best friend. I hope they are reunited soon.

    I read the facebook posts and comments. So many people seem to have heard her. I hope they find her soon.

    Tony the wing span of these birds must be massive. I can see a little bird getting out a door or a window, but it seems it would be difficult for a bird of that size. Am I right?

    The wingspan of a Hy is 48 to 52 inches. I know there's quite a lot on the web stating how huge Hys are. But typically they're about the same size as a large GW. In fact, Salsa outweighed Zaf even before Zaf lost so much weight in 2015.

    BTW, it's my impression that Deora is a male. The owner, Neal, used the pronoun "him".

    To answer your question, it depends on how he escaped. Perhaps someone took him outside.

    I thought they were bigger than a GW. They seem to look longer. That is still quite a large wingspan.

    That is very possible. I didn't read anywhere how he escaped.
