Seen a bird? Tell us where.
A parrot on a hydro wire is the single most useful thing anyone can report. Takes a minute, needs no account — and we'll email every owner it might belong to.
Is it a wild bird? Robins, sparrows, gulls, ducklings and birds of prey aren't escaped pets and need a licensed rehabilitator. What to do instead

At the Laredo Park near the Gustav Parkette entrance, saw it on October 6 at 4 pm flying back and forth around the same area and feeding on the grass for an hour. We called several Animal Services lines, both advised us to attempt containing it ourselves while it’s in sight. The bird was ok with my hands very close to it, sat on the feeder and on my leg very briefly 3-4 times, but never allowed to touch it and eventually flew further into the park. The locals said that they saw it in this area over the last few weeks but don’t know the owner. No tags or injuries were visible on the bird, it behaved normally.

Reporting a sighting — FAQ
I saw a bird but I don't know whose it is — should I still report it?
Yes, and that's exactly what this page is for. You don't need to find the listing or know the owner. Tell us the species, where you saw it and what it was doing, and we'll check it against every open lost-bird report nearby and email anyone whose bird it might be.
How do I know if it's a pet or a wild bird?
Escaped pets are almost always parrots and their relatives — budgies, cockatiels, lovebirds, conures, ringnecks, greys, macaws — plus canaries and finches. They stand out against Canadian scenery, often approach people, and many have a band on one leg. A robin, sparrow, gull, crow or duckling is wild and needs a licensed wildlife rehabilitator instead.
Should I try to catch it?
Usually not, and never by chasing it — a frightened bird flies further and higher, which makes it much harder to recover. Note exactly where it is, which way it flew, and the time. If it comes to you willingly and you can contain it safely, do that and file a found report instead.
Will my details be published?
No. Your name appears on the public sighting; your email address never does. If an owner wants to ask you a question they reply through us.
