Jan 26-14 FINAL UPDATE..According to Sharon, Einstein is doing great, improving every day. He did not have surgery on the broken wing because some healing had taken place. He will never fly again due to the injury. He is talking again and hopping in the water to bathe.

12/24/2013 Willow Glen/San Jose CA:
Help is needed in a desperate attempt at finding Einstein, a lost Congo African Grey.
He’s been a best friend of 8 years.
Owner was away for holiday when she left her beloved Einstein in the care of a family member. He got out Christmas Eve, last seen on Monday 12/30 by the Mailman around Nightingale Drive and hasn’t been seen since. Owner wasn’t notified about his escape until days later.
Einstein is fully flighted with exception of a few missing feathers that he may have picked out, does not fly well. He goes outside (supervised) so he’s familiar with the surrounding area (noise etc) however there are crows in the area as well as a creek. The owner is absolutely heart broken. Einstein was last seen December 24, 2013 from his home on Ironwood and Almaden Expressway in Willow Glen near the CineLux Theature.
If seen or found please contact Sharon at 408-409-9683 408-227-8993
if anyone sees an African Grey at one of the local Animal Shelters please call right away! PLEASE SHARE!
