How do you get a parakeet down from a tree?

Question

My friend's parakeet flew on to a tree after a cat attacked the cage, now the bird is on the tree, and if you get close to it it flys away.

i'm pretty sure he wants it down alive

Answer 1

Leave the cage near it and open. It will probably fly in to roost and eat when it gets hungry
A

Answer 2

If you know someone else with a parakeet have them bring the other bird in a cage and the one in the tree should come down to it. Also leave some seed high up until the bird spots it. Once the bird eats from the dish move the dish into the birds cage and put the cage where the dish sat. the bird should go into the cage to get the food. Your best bet is the sound of another parakeet.

Answer 3

Parakeets are very timid birds. When they get upset by something that is much bigger than them, well they tend to get scared of other things too. If you're not careful one of these days you will end up seeing feathers hanging out of the cats mouth. Besides you should always keep a close on birds. If they are in your company keep it inside the cage unless you are willing to keep an eye on it then you can take it out. No wonder the lil thing was scared

Answer 4

Make sure the cat is no where around. Set it's cage on the front step with fresh food and water in it. leave the door open and hope that the remembered safety is stronger than the fear of a moment.
Good Luck

Answer 5

Is the cat still around? It might be why the 'keet won't come down. Try putting its cage somewhere it can see it. If the 'keet is tame, your friend can stay near the cage and try to call it down. If it's afraid of people, then stay away from the cage but still somewhere in sight in case the cat comes back.

Answer 6

Keep the cat away from the cage so the parakeet can see it's safe to go back to its old territory.

Answer 7

If calling to him with your arm or hand out, or with a perch in your hand, doesn't work, try spreading birdseed on the ground, or bread crumbs...

If all else fails...spray the bird, in the tree, with a hose, with a very fine mist until he's too wet to fly. You can then climb a ladder to the tree limb & rescue the bird...with adult supervision, that is.

Answer 8

i cant promise this will work, its a long shot. but maybe if you put the cage where it can see it, and leave it open, the bird may come to it, if not you may have to use a net or something to catch it, parakeets can not survive in the wild, they do not know how to look for food, so i wish you luck

Answer 9

We had a cockatoo and my stupid ex left the door open wide, the
next thing I know Woody went flyin outside in the 90 degree heat
in Las Vegas. We called his name, brought out his cage, etc.
We never saw him again. That was sad. I hate to say it, but birds
are next to impossible to catch. Hopefully, the birdie will learn
from the other birdies how to survive.....

Answer 10

Good question, maybe take cage out side so he or she see it with the door open, and maybe it will fly into the cage, call a rescue company for suggestions.
