Just rescued him/her from our cats on Fernholme Road in Nunhead. Clearly a pet not afraid of people. Blue tag on a leg but cant read it clearly. Pic attached. Call 02072528498 if it's yours! Also if anyone has a spare cage we could borrow let us know - no idea where we can put the bird tonight

There was a thread on here recently with people saying they'd seen a cockatiel on the loose (a pet not one of the green parakeets that have bred and live in the wild in london now) and someone posted saying...


'There is a note on a tree about 2 lost cockatiels and for the life of me I cant remember where it is .Am racking my brains to remember.Got a feeling its on the SE15 side of Peckham Rye near Strakers Road which leads to the car park on the Rye.'


is it definitely a parrot not a cockatiel? if it's a cockatiel then the owners are obviously looking, but unless someone knows where the 'missing poster' is then how can you re-unite them?


how big is he? I'm trying to imagine him grooming your shoulder! :)

maybe he can talk and will reveal details of his owners in conversation!

Well done you !

No cage to offer ,but maybe try large cardboard box - might be used to being in a cage and covered at night ?

I'm sure owner will be distraught and looking for pet .

Wish I could be more help . ( or any help ! )

Good luck.

He (or she) is very tame. Prefers to perch on shoulders rather than anywhere else. Could not have been lost for long because it cant fly far and our cats nearly made a meal out of it. Just wish we could find owners quickly we are not set up for a pet bird in this house!

Um ,well - I have a cat carrying box .

Wonder if that would do ?

It's metal ,solid floor ,rest of it has bars ..

Guess would need a wash ,not dirty but would the parrot smell cat ?

PM me if you think might help.


It's like these ,but with a flat top ,not domed.

Don't want to be a downer but got to ask: Did he/she get hurt by the cat? If so, it really needs to go to the vet asap for anti-biotic jab. Cat saliva has bacteria which can build up to kill a bird even if the injuries were only minor.


I have a sackful of good quality bird seed, also black sunflowers, I could let you have some if you're stuck what to feed it in the meantime - the green parakeets love them. I'm in Kelvington Road, Nunhead - off Cheltenham/Ivydale Roads.

    • My bird app just picked up swifts before I heard or saw them!  
    • I highly recommend Temi as a very skilled and reliable painter / decorator based in the East Dulwich & SE London area. She has completed many jobs for us over the past 10 years at our property on Overhill Road SE22 and also on Harlescott Road SE15, and we have always been thoroughly impressed with her work. We often leave her with keys and leave her to work her magic, fully confident that she's 100% trustworthy and will always do a fantastic job. If you're looking for a trustworthy local decorator who delivers exceptional work Temi is a great person to call. I'm not affiliated with her or her business in any way and actually found her through a recommendation on the ED forum over 10 years ago, i just like to recommend really good tradespeople who deserve a thank you.

    • Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leon. Very reasonably priced and called out on the same day I contacted him! 
    • ''He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.'' What utter tosh. Carney had to mitigate the effects of Brexit caused by plastic patriots like Farage. For example, immediately after the 2016 Brexit vote the BoE had to intervene fiscally by dropping interest rates and increasing QE in order to prevent the economy from taking a big hit.  They were unable to prevent the £ from crashing at the time, and it has since been worked out that the effect of that alone caused a circa £900/year hit to each UK household, which equates to the UK @ £450m/week.   There's reams of data out there that shows the economic damage Brexit has caused to the UK. Here's one looking at business investment, admittedly not very sexy but kinda important if you want to achieve economic growth. It's clear to see that prior to 2016 we had reached parity with some of our main rivals, but since then we've flatlined. All that Brexit has achieved is to win the race to the bottom. There's a reason why Farage never brought up Brexit at the last election, he knows himself it hasn't delivered on any of the promises, quite the reverse in fact.  Labour, stupidly, by saying they can make Brexit work have in effect given Farage a Get Out of Jail Free card...
