My friend just let his 2 cockatiels go in a field....?

Question

I went to look for them with no luck. Will they surive in the wild? Is my friend bad or a sinner for doing this?

Answer 1

They will die if not caught. And yes your friend is bad and a sinner. You need to catch them before something else eats them!

Answer 2

The may not be much hope for the birds. These birds most probably have been raised in captivity, which means that they had a continuous access to water and food, and were totally dependent on the owner, and most obviously have never had to look for food and water, or even protect themselves for birds of prey. If someone does not find the soon......well lets just hope someone does...

:(

Answer 3

Sadly, unless they grew up in the wild, they will not survive unless they find their way to a new owner. Your friend only did a bad thing if he knew that was the case. (If not, it was only careless, not malicious.)

Answer 4

Hate to say this but your friend isn't very smart.  These birds are use to being in the house and love people.  Why in the world would he do something so stupid? They will both die because they don't even know how to find food in the wild.  Not only that but the larger birds or another animal will kill them.  :-(  How sad............

Answer 5

birds kept i cativity stand little chance of surviving in the wild.they are used to being fed,and sheltered.they are not accustomed to the elements. with any luck, someone will find them.maybe you could put out some fliers. your friend showed a total lack of responsibility
