I believe there are actually Facebook groups set up specifically for lost 
birds, so it might be worth seeing if you've got a local one. Since joining a 
local lost pets group, I've been astounded at the number of pets that go 
missing, mostly dogs and cats, and I'm starting to wonder what percentage of 
pet sales are just replacing lost ones.
