To anyone in the area, please keep your eyes and ears open in case you spot this parrot. His name is Charly, he lives in Freienwil, near to Baden, as well as Ehrendingen, Nussbaumen, Rieden, Obersiggenthal, Untersiggenthal.

Here is a link with a photo. Tomorrow I am helping the owner search.

The owner speaks English so please don't hesitate to call.

Some birds who escape, particularly those who only fly indoors. may just fly once, land, and choose somewhere to hide and wait to be found.

Let's hope for his safe return to his owner.

...poor thing, with these temperatures!!!

Shouldn't keep it in a cage should ya!!

i saw one that answered the description, but he said his name wasn't Charly..

i'll keep my eye out, grey parrots are crazy intelligent creatures, beautiful too!

In case anyone stumbles across this thread, I have decided to update it.

It is a really sad situation, the bird was never found, the owner got a second bird, he was planning on leaving the country, and he ordered travel crates and was getting everything in order.

Then the owner became ill and within a matter of weeks he passed away.
The birds were rehomed.

All very tragic.

Oh, how very sad.

Thanks for the update, Mrs D. I do hope a new home has been (or can be) found for the birds.

The birds, Lucy and Charly are with another member from the parrot forum and are doing fine. It was Emma, not Charly who flew away.
