MISSING! African Grey Parrot

Update (5/21 4pm): T-bird flew out of our sight this morning, after spending the night in a tree near our house. We think he is probably still nearby N.Chauncey, Vine St, Salisbury, etc., as he doesn't seem to go far when tree hopping, and seems to stay in each tree for many hours each time he moves. If anyone hears extra loud chirps (like smoke alarm sounds) or chattering in the area, please comment! Thank you all so much. Everyone has been so wonderful and helpful and kind. It's been about 50hrs total, and some parrots can stay out for several days before being located, so we are not losing hope yet!!

Missing! African Grey parrot - light gray, red tail feathers. His name is "T-Bird". He will likely be hiding in a tree, probably close to the trunk for protection. You may hear him mimicking or chattering even if you don't see him. He loves blueberries and will usually come if offered a blueberry. He flew off from N. Chauncey Ave toward Vine St. in West Lafayette around 3pm on Tuesday (5/19). We think he is likely near campus, Hills & Dales, WL high school, etc. If you hear or spot him, please DM or comment. We would be eternally grateful. Thank you so much!
