I liked your post and I'm sad for you that your bird flew away. I don't want to be a buzzkill but mirrors and birds are a bad combo, they cause so many issues with many birds that it is every veterinarians recommendation to never give birds full access to mirrors.
Really ? Thanks for this information.
My cockatiel loves to play with a mirror but access is only for a while.
No problem, yeah limited access is ok but mirrors in cages or next to perches are bad new unfortunately.
Oh, really ? I didn’t know that. Thanks for pointing it out.
It's okay, not everyone knows about the issues with birds that mirrors can cause. Not all birds are influenced negatively but enough for it to not be a chance anyone should take really. Not a personal attack or anything, I can tell you really loved your bird, i'm sorry for your loss. :(
