My husband threw the cage into the garden in a rage and one flew away. It is freezing outside. Will he die of the cold or will he get attacked first? I feel so terrible for him.

Thanks for your answers. I would love to rescue him, but he has flown away. Poor thing.

To all of you who it says I have given a low rating to, please don't think bad of me...someone came on my PC and gave lots of my answers thumbs down - I really appreciate all of your kind answers and this was beyond my control.

Based on the other questions you've asked in other sections... you're looking to leave your husband. Good on you for it too.
Anyone who takes their anger out on a helpless bird (and child according to another question you asked) doesn't deserve a wife or a child. I hope you are able to get you and your daughter out of this situation quickly.
As far as your bird is concerned... it's likely that he will succumb to the cold or taken by a predator.. but don't assume so. You should try to go out tomorrow and look for him, call for him and leave his cage out with some food and water. You never know. I see you're in the UK and I'm not sure what the weather is there, but if it's below 40 degrees fareheit, your bird stands little chance.
I'm so sorry for your loss of your budgie, I hope that you end up finding him tomorrow by some chance. I also wish you luck on getting rid of your husband. Sounds like you need to.

There is every chance your budgie will be OK as long as it stays under cover trees etc the wild birds won't be able to mob it.If by any chance it can get in among the parakeets down your way then it will do fine.It will just revert back to the wild among its own kind.A very large percentage of budgies now survive in the wild because our winters are not as bad as they used to be quite mild in fact.Believe me when I say that budgies and parakeets survive in England by the thousands in very large flocks.They feed on the same as our birds Rose hips,Hawthorn,Rowan tree berries right through Winter.That husband needs to get help or get out you need to contact WWW.Plentyoffish.com and meet someone who will treat you and your wean right.What I have read about your problems and I am new on here is not right.Just take the first step to meet someone or at least talk to them on the PC.I'll promise you this much you will at least meet some new friends who are on your side.Must be better than thinking your the only one going through a hard time?

Because of the cold weather, your little budgie could not have gone far. If you saw which direction it flown after the cage was tossed in to the garden, you may be able to find him. Keep an eye on the ground and corners as he maybe seeking for a warm area.

Shortly after the cage landed in the garden, the husband would have landed too. What are you doing with such a man who can take his bad temper out on a poor defenceless creature. The bird will obviously not survive outdoors. You need to take a look at life with such a man and get rid - you deserve better.

Oh my gosh. :( I'm sorry to hear that.
He is use to being inside and to be thrown outside to defend himself when it is so cold... there is a chance he will die, sorry.
Unless someone else finds him and brings him in, there is a chance he will die of starvation, cold, preditor,etc. Although there is the rare case of a pet bird joining up with other birds of a different or same species and learning to fend for itself.
Put a lost ad in the newspaper, put fliers around, leave an open cage or something outside with food and water where he escaped. For the first month (if they survive that long), most birds stay within 1 mile of where they escaped.
I got my untame cockatiel back this way.

Your budgie will be attacked or starve to death. Your husband should suffer some of that!
He isn't an husband he's an animal. Any man that as ever upset my dogs or other pets won't be doing it again. They are my babies & i have to protect them.
Get some counseling for your husband he's not all the ticket.
Better still just divorce the f****** control freak!

Hi, sorry to hear about this. Budgies can stand most temps, butit is the draft or wind that they do not like. I ket budgies for years in an outdorr flight in all weathers, as long a sthey are healty they survive, but it will be the wild birds that will kill it.

Chances are the bird will die, either from the cold or from landing on the ground and become prey.
Your husband needs to get help with his anger.
Until he does you shouldn't have any kind of creatures in the home.
