I NEED HELP WITH BIRDS?
Would a domestic bird, one who has been born and raised in a cage or a pet shop where it is always given food in the exact place ever since birth, be able to survive if it escaped into a suburb with a fair amount of both trees and roads/cars/everything else one would find in a suburb? Even if its wings were not clipped?
Not likely to survive as they be lower to the ground then other wild birds, so make it easier for foxes and stray cats to catch them.
Please if you do not want the bird sell it to a loving home.

The birds sold in petstores are typically not native to the area. Chance of survival is therefore pretty low.

t isnt just about finding food. Its more about predators which the bird may not have a natural instinct opr defense mechanisms to avoid. So many predators out there from other carnivorous birds to cats and dogs, rats and whatever carnivorous animals you have too, where you live.
if you bird has escaped the need to find it is urgent.
They don't have the skill needed to survive.
Most birds just get seed in there bowls and don't know how to forge for it or even where to look.
There cage is a safe place that protects them, outside they need to be alert ALL the time.
Its the same as if you took a person with no experience and put them in a new place where there are dangerous animals, traps, toxic plants/food..etc Things the person has never seen before and has no idea what they are/can do.
