My cleaner released my budgies by mistake, what can I do?

 

Budgies and other pet birds have little chance of survival in the wild. Therefore, bird owners should act quickly if they escape.

If the cleaner has acted intentionally or with gross negligence and has not taken the necessary precautions, she must replace the bird.
