Budgie’s day out
It was a perfect morning…I woke up late. My mom was in the local gym while I was eating food and watching tv. My birds were outside with the new bird we got his name was gina or you could call him Star. He was a very good friend of Loue’s.
My grandfather was outside with them too. He was keeping watch on them from cats and eagles since the last time one attacked but thank god no bird was harmed. He noticed one of the birds was not there.
There were only 6 birds, one of them was gone!. He called me immediately, I was confused too. I thought he was counting wrong but we checked again. It was right!. I was so worried I did not even say a thing, got on my cycle and knocked on every neighbor’s door!. I realize now it was quite silly. How could they have seen something so tiny but I was still in shock while my grandfather was figuring out how Loue had gone out.
He noticed one of the cage doors was open. That was where Loue had gone out. When I came home I was full of disappointment and told my grandfather, also called my mom she was also quite sad seeing me so sad so she came home to make me feel better ..My mom said to take a nap it would help but I couldn’t sleep I was worried sick about Loue so instead, I was figuring out a way to get Loue back with the help of my grandfather. When we heard a noise outside, I ran so fast I saw my neighbor saying “There is Loue Sukhnaaz” I saw a tiny blue bird on a big tree, was the tree too big or the bird too small I was a bit confused so we took the other budgies out so maybe she would come seeing her other friends….but I did not know what would happened next.
So I just sat there waiting with my grandfather…I was praying for her.. while gina had gone crazy he was trying to get out to Loue. I fell asleep while waiting when I woke up I said ” let us do this” I wore my gloves and got a small cage I was ready but I saw she was gone from the tree now my happiness on a scale of 1 to 10 was 7 but I woke my grandfather and we were searching for Loue everywhere. We found her. She was up so high on a tree. We were so worried my grandfather was still in a bit of a shock while I was climbing the tree.I Believed I could climb up and grab Loue. Luckily my grandfather stopped me from breaking my bones and falling on my face and got the big cage where the other birds were maybe she would come and she did she started flying near the cage and then suddenly a big bird took her!.
It looked like an eagle. I almost fainted I gave up and my grandfather was not helping you see he is not very good at motivating so he just said “Naaz it’s over.” I could not sleep all night. In the morning my parents went on a walk. I was still very upset when my father shouted “Naaz come look” I was walking slowly I had lost all my hope until they both shouted “Loue!” I ran so fast. Indeed it was her. I was so glad.
My father tried to catch her but she was out of control. I could not catch her either. We sat outside for almost 4 hours! I was still praying. It was my turn to catch her and I got her! While I was so busy celebrating she got out of my hand and boom! My happiness on a scale of 1 to 10 was 0.
While I was sitting and waiting I saw her on the top of the big cage from the tree.. we got her so easily from there. Turns out we did not have to run after her. She had come for her friends…I was so glad for her. I knew that she was not used to living in the wild, Many big birds could eat her and what would she eat. From that day on I always checked the cage doors before taking the birds out.
After this I wondered what happened between the eagle and Loue?
How did she come back?
Where did she stay in the night?
What did she eat? and so many more questions.
Loue is very clever to find her way back home as one of my birds Cutie flew away and never found his way back home.
P.S. I would be publishing what I imagined happened with Loue
