Female Gouldian finch escaped from the cage.

[Paul's Amazing Birds]

I would use the male as bait - particularly if they're a bonded pair. If you can put his cage outside during the day and then just let her come to you. Chasing a bird around outside with a net rarely works. I would use a second "trap cage" next to the male's cage with some veggies or spray millet or whatever food she likes inside. A long string can hold the door open while you watch from a distance or just check periodically throughout the day. When she's hungry she'll find the open door. My escapes are rare but since they can hear the others singing, they usually don't go far. If I don't see them for 48 hours I figure they're probably lost. I always keep my trap-cage at the ready just in case.

I know how stressful this is.

Good luck to you.

Yeah I just looked for her around the neighborhood , but having the net around is just for if I see her so I can catch her , yeah it is very very stressful :/

Should I leave the male call the female only , or I found gouldian finch song lasting 15 minutes and keep repeating that , maybe if I leave the male gould to call her , he is actually calling HER and not singing for other reasons like in the song on the internet , not sure any advice?

The egg i've put in i saw bill marks on it , and the point looked sharp kind of like gouldian beak , if it was sparrows i think that they would've eaten the whole egg because there would be plenty of them, what are your thoughts ? There were only a few bites maybe 5-10 bill marks on the egg

There is a river aproximately 300-400 meters from where I live , is it possible that she flew all that way for water?
During the morning here there is water droplets on grass , is it possible that she could use that water source , until now no one saw it , and neither me , I am not sure if I heard her or something else ..
