On Tuesday, June 14th one of our precious parrots went missing near her home in the Pike Creek area in Wilmington, DE. She was spotted twice, but was too far out of reach and was very scared to come down to us from the woodsy area near our home. Although she has her wings trimmed, she was still capable of getting enough flight to reach trees for safety and was noted traveling 500+ yards on the day she went missing based on the multiple visuals we had and rescue attempts. Mattie will only make a loud screech sound at times when she is scared, or flying away. The sound is one that will seem distressed and very different to any call of a local wild bird. Her color is emerald green with black and orange in her feathers. The top of her head and ankles are also orange. She is stocky in size and approx. 10-12 inches in length. Very shy and cautious around people she is not familiar with and enjoys being independent most of th day. Overall she is a quiet bird, but very sweet and beautiful! We are offering a $500 REWARD for her safe return!
