Smithers Update December 23rd
Still missing from Cambridge, Christopher/ Meyer rd.

My sweet boy is still missing and not a sighting since that family last reported seeing him.

I believe this kind family probably made a mistake and it was not him but all leads must me follow and no stone unturned.

My heart tells me someone has him and is not returning him because maybe they don't know we are looking or maybe because they want to keep him. 😢

Please, keep an eye out. If u know anyone that just recently got a new African Grey please maybe it could be my Smithers.

Im praying that during these holidays and get togethers someone may see him or hear him in someones home.

I beg fir everyones help. Dont forget my sweet boy. Our family is heartbroken and missing him terribly.

Please help us.

UPDATE ON SMITHERS.
DECEMBER 14TH.

BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN SEEN BY A FAMILY TODAY AT 1.30 PM AT LANGLAW AND WHEATLAND

A family on a walk this afternoon are 100% sure they saw Smithers.

He landed no further than 10 feet away from them and they saw him and called him. He was on a pole depicted on the picture circled in white and from there to the big evergreen also on the picture after that he flew into the direction of someones yard, across the street from that pole.

Please, if u live in the area, please keep an eye out for him.
This family said he looked healthy, so if its him he must have found a warm spot and has been feeding on bird feeders.

I pray this is him, i pray my little boy is still around and will be home soon.

Please, look around your yards, he could be hidding in a warm spot, like a shed, a hole on a tree, a dog house, a box, a pipe, under a deck.

Please, please, dont forget about him, please help me find him. It is very cold and he needs to be home soon.

And if someone has him, please please, he needs to come home to his family, please let him come home.

Please help our family

SMITHERS UPDATE NOVEMBER 26TH
STILL MISSING FROM CHRISTOPHER AND MEYER'S RD AREA IN CAMBRIDGE.

My sweet boy is still missing. Now more than ever, i believe and so some bird experts that someone has him and is not returning him.

Please, if u know someone that just got a new African grey, please keep an eye out to see if its my boy, please help me. Our family needs him home. He is already bonded to myself, he will be heartbroken in someone else's home. Most people have no idea the amount of work, time and money it takes to care for an African Grey and a lit of times these beautiful babies live in not great conditions. My boy was abuse for 10 years, i can't imagine any more suffering, it breaks my heart, i cant handle that thought.

Please, if u have him, please return him. I will help u getting another one that u can bond with, please return my boy to us. Just take him to the humane society or a vet, let them know who he is. He says his name all the time, so you will know its him.

Please help me, our family is so heartbroken and missing him desperately.

Help me.

My sweet boy is still not home, and our heart are more broken than ever.
My update today is a special request, an appeal to the person that perhaps found him and gas not, not been aware that he is very loved and we are desperately looking for him.

Please, Smithers is our sweet boy. He is a member of our family, cherished, loved, so loved by our family. He has only bonded with myself all his life, and he will not bond again.
Please, return him to us. I will personally help you find another bird, that you will be able to bond with, i will find it and buy it for you.

Smithers will not be a good pet for another family, he wont let you pet him, man or woman, you wont be able to cuddle him or bond with him.
Please, he will be unhappy and so will you.
Please, i beg you to return him home to us and i will find you a bird to bond with.

If u know someone that just got an african grey, a neighbor, a friend or a family member, please, please keep an eye out. Please, if u see my boy, please ask the family to do the right thing, my children miss Smithers so much.

If he is still out there, please keep an eye out for places he can hide in your backyard or on top of tall trees.

Please help our family 😢

SMITHERS UPDATE NOVEMBER 12TH STILL MISSING FROM CAMBRIDGE ONTARIO

My sweet boy is still missing, my heart is still broken and how family is devastated by his absence.
Some people tell me I should give up, i should move on, and i know they mean well, but how can i.

Smithers us capable of love, he understands what we say to him and what he says back to us. In fact African greys are one of the rare birds that can recognize themselves in mirrors and that feel compassion.
He is out there, desperately wanting to come home, cold, looking for us.
If someone has him, he is feeling confused, scared, as he knows thats not his family,

How can i give up on this little creature that brought so much love in to our home. Smithers has an incredible sense of humor, loves to be a clown and laughs when he or someone else does something funny.

How can i give up, i can't, i won't, i will never.
I have read stories of birds coming home after months even years after been lost.
Our weather has been cooperating and i must continue to look for him.

Please, even if u don't believe he will be found, please, help me spread the word.
He has not bern seen or heard for a while, so he could be anywhere, in any town close by or a bit further away.
Please, please share my posts, his pictures to as many pages and people as u can, no matter how far they are.
If someone has him, they should know how wrong it is to keep a lost pet, specially if it has an ID. He has a family, he needs to come home. This person needs to be aware he is loved and needs his family, please return him, take him to a vet clinic, to the humane Society, please i just want him back.

Please Help our family 😢

Update on Smithers October 22nd.

After been spotted at the YMCA on October 13th, the person that saw him said he flew towards the retirenment home apartments besides the YMCA building.
He has not been seen since.
I never thought i would still be looking for him after so many days. My heartbreak keeps growing, my family is missing him immensely. But i can't give up on him, i can't.
His first 10 years of life were of suffering in the hands of two heartless owners, he was kept in a cage, no free time outside, and treated inhumanely. After 10 years of suffering these piece of garbage of a person gave him up to a vet , didn't want him anymore. I cant imagine what he was feeling throughout all that, unloved, uncared for. These beautiful animals have a perception of themselves, of their surrounding. They have the capacity to feel and show clearly their emotions. The are in fact capable of showing empathy for others and that makes him incredibly special in the bird world.
After been dumped at the vet office, and after a long time trying to work with him, the vet couldn't see many options for him. All the suffering turned him into a very aggressive bird, nobody could approach him, pet him or touch him. The vet had no hopes he would ever be adopted, and perhaps put him to sleep was the best option. But at that time, there was an incredible lady working as a vet tech at that office, that saw through all the anger Smithers had and decided to work with him personally. She took him home, and work with him for months, untifinally she entrusted me with him.
He came to our home, and he learn with us that love is incondicional, we love him so much, even if he had his bad days. We loved him through his adjustment period , we loved him even when he bit us, we shown patience when he was angry, we just loved him. I spent years showing him that his suffering was no more, that we wouldn't give up on him, ever. That with us he found his home, that we would grow old together. He helped all of us, but specially my children during Covid, it kept my children focus on him instead of the crazy, scary times we all went through. So he helped us too, we helped each other, and through all that, him and i end up forming a bond. These birds are known to be a one persons bird, they form a bond for life, and its special. He trusted me, he relied on me, he loved me, and i love him so incredibly much for his strength and his strong spirit.
For all that, i can't give up. I can't stop posting on social media, i can't stop calling around, i can't stop looking everywhere, i can't.
Please, share my posts, please. If the group isnt allowing sharing just cluck on my name and share from there or copy paste, but please help me share it to as many people, locations, pages as possible, as im limited with sharing because facebook keeps blocking me. Im overwhelmed with kindness and love that i have been receiving from all of you and i can't say thank you enough for caring for my boy.
Please help me, if u go for walks, please keep an eye out for him on top of trees. If u have a bird feeder and want to attract him, he loves sunflower seeds, almonds, walnuts.
When last seen he seems healthy and happy, and that is a blessing, but its getting cold. He can be ANYWHERE. Its important he is known all over our town, Cambridge, but also surrounding towns because he can go anywhere.
Im begging for your help, please, please help me.
