Well what a morning ..... I was taking out the veg thats not been touched out of ernest cage when he flew out right over my shoulder. The back door was open and he was makin a beeline to it as I screeched my partner opene the door to the living room which made him change direction ad flew I there with failed catch from my partner into the living room where Winnie is now going crackers an flying above. I ran in after closin doors and windows this point my partner is trying to get Winnie back in her cage which she was having none of. Ernest is on the floor lucky dogs were outside so I go to catch him he flys off to the photo frame were Winnie is. They bunch together to try and get away from us . At this time partner is trying to get hold and it's getting crazy so were decide to stand back and let them settle this point Winnie is stood on Ernest nooooooo ! We managed to get ernest as he is slower and returned him and then Winnie ! O m g Leant my lesson doors closed use side doors

Yikes! Close call... I never clean the budgies without making sure the room is secure. A determined budgie can move fast and get through a small gap as you have found out. Still a happy ending is the main thing, thank goodness. I bet you feel a good 15 years older though eh?!!

I've had this once or twice, its very scary!! With the big doors on those cages it is very easy for them to fly out. It all ended well though thank goodness Liz

Well it was a shocker it's lucky that Winnie was making a racket as per and my partner opened the door cause e went to Winnie which is not good but not as bad as him going in the garden
