A bird's wings are made to fly, and that's the calling of most of them. Sometimes this gets out of hand, enough so to distress the owner of the bird. The owner's only intentions are to nurture for and care about these birds so precious to them. What if they get restless and fly away? It's difficult to re-catch an escaped bird, but it is possible.

Oh, no, Tweety has escaped! The first thing you should do is take a deep breath. It's traumatizing to lose something so dear to you, and being frantic is the last thing you want to do. If you have the chance to find the bird outside, you'll only scare him further if you're in a panicked state. On that note, the first place to look is outside. Catching your bird this way is going to be easiest if his wings are clipped.

Once outside, your bird is going to try to fly around, but sometimes it will stay near. Your house, after all, is the most familiar thing it has. You'll want to bring a cloth of some sort with you so that you securely capture the bird if given the chance. When you go outside to look, it's imperative that you're cool and collected. It's so easy to detect a human's feelings. If your bird is still around your house, possibly on a tree branch, don't celebrate quite yet.

Still being quiet and calm as possible, draw nearer to your escapee bird. He'll probably be nervous because he's in new surroundings. Quickly drape, or toss, the cloth that you have with you over the bird. He may try to fly away, but you need to grab him as quickly as possible. Be careful, though. Remember that the safety of your bird is more important than getting him back. It's always possible to get a new bird, but once Tweety is dead, there's no turning back.

If you're careful enough, you can carry your little bundle back into the house with all of your windows securely closed. It's an important lesson to learn; make sure that your house is closed up when your bird is flying around.

Now, let's say that your bird isn't in the immediate area, or maybe he got out while you were at work. That creates more problems, doesn't it? Now, I still want you to keep from panicking. Save your grief for after you've prepared. There are things you can do right now, believe it or not.

As I previously stated, your bird's home is your home. His desires will lie in its cage. Think about it; even when you travel and you're having a good time, don't you ever long for your own bed? It's the same with your little Tweety bird. He's going to want to return to his cage,
