It happens frequently in the warmer, summer months 91裸聊视频� a door or window is left open, and within seconds, a pet budgie, or cockatiel or love bird flies through into the great wide open, perhaps never to be seen again.

Posts about missing pet birds in social media neighbourhood and community groups also become more frequent when the weather gets warmer.

But it was a Facebook post that helped Pineapple find her way back to her worried guardian Priscilla Reeves Timmons, who was devastated when her green and yellow budgie managed to get away from their South Surrey home on July 7, just before her 11th birthday.

91裸聊视频淚 cried. I was so happy to get her back!91裸聊视频� Reeves Timmons said Monday (July 31).

A family member who was trying to be helpful was cleaning Pineapple91裸聊视频檚 cage while the bird and cage were outside to take advantage of the nice weather, which is when the brightly coloured budgie escaped.
