People say they hear him all over, and we try calling him, but he's a baby and scared most of the time, so I figure he wouldn't come (only call) when I whistle for him. He also flies, which is how he got away when the door was open. It has been a week, and we keep trying to find him everyday.
My question is, what should I do to find him? We call him, put his cage and food outside on the roof, play tapes calling him at dusk and dawn, and have put up signs with a reward and his picture on them. I've already tried to see in other people's lawns, but they called the cops so I got in trouble for trespassing, and now I can't look in their yards for him, which makes finding him impossible since I Iive in a community of homes. Does anyone have any really good suggestions for finding him?
Thanks in advance!

Place food and water outside for him. When he comes to eat and get water; record the times he comes and set the cage with food and water outside where he can see it and feed. When he is inside eating call someone to close the door before he gets away again,
I used cages to trap birds. run nylon thread or filament fishing line to the cage. When you see him inside the cage; lower the door so he will not get away again.

You said people can hear him, so that's a good sign (he's still alive). If he doesn't come back to you, he may go to someone else so what you should do is call all the pet store's and vets in your area. Report him missing, so if anyone calls to say they found a bird, they'll know who he belongs to.
I lost a tiel that way last year. I did what you're doing and walked the whole town with a piece of cheese in my hand (his favorite food) while bawling my eyes out. He didn't come back. It was cold and raining for a few days after he left so I don't think he lasted long :-( If the weather didn't take him the hawks probably did. I'll always worry about how he spent his last moments.
If you do get him back...clip his wings. I'll keep you and your bird in my thoughts. I really hope you get him back.

I have a cocketeil. It flew away once.. Next day it was in the tree I put my finger in the air and whistled and it came down to it. I don't know how you can find yours. Try to follow its whistling. Look in the trees. Maybe you should leave bird seeds out side your house for it to come eat.

You should had his wings clipped. Just keep doing what you are doing. Get in the car and go up the street and see if YOU CAN SEE HIM. you can't get into trouble in you car on a public road. Take a cage with you and leave another at the house
I hope you can get him, I have lost birds and and seen & heard them. but most of the time you can't. Sometimes a bigger bird will devoure them. And since it wasn't raised in the wild it dosen't know how to look for food and defend itself. And if they go without their food then they will die.
I wish you the best of luck
P.S. if you don't get him and do get another , please have it's wings clipped..

Notify animal control and animal rescue orginizations in all local areas. Birds can fly a long ways if frightened.
Run lost ads in your newspapers.
Post your fliers at every pet store and vet's office that you can get to. Call the ones that are in neighboring cities if you can't get there. Anyone that finds a bird and takes it in will end up in one of those two places.
I wish you luck.

You've done everything you can do, and it sounds like you're not going to get any help from your neighbors. Just keep the food outside and hope that he comes back. (It's winter and there isn't much food outside, so chances are that he'll come back when he gets hungry.)

Most of the time in cases like this, the bird is going to stay lost. Unfortunately. d:( You're doing all the right things to encourage the bird to come closer to your house and you. If he/she doesn't want to, there's almost no way to make it come closer. d:(
