We found a budgie and have taken it home. What are the next steps we should take?

We need to find an owner and I also need to know on how to make the cage a little bit more entertaining.





Also he tried to escape once we left to put up posters and when we got home hie head was stuck between the bars. How can I prevent this?We found a budgie and have taken it home. What are the next steps we should take?
Hi if he can get his head thru the bars then the cage is too big for him and he is going to end up hurting hisself..So you need to get a different cage for him some birdie toys would keep him entertained.. fresh fruits and vegies rice pasta beans and leafy greens should be included in his diet.. There is a site called Birdsnway it is a lost and found bird site read through the posts and see if someone has posted him there and you post a found bird ad too.. next call your local animal shelter police department and avian vets to see if someone has placed a missing bird report in.. go around your neighborhood and look for lost bird signs ( grocery stores telephone poles ) whomever this little guy belongs too is probably worried sick about him oh also call your local paper and ask if there have been any ads for lost birds placed in thier paper.. remember that bird might be from just around the corner or from miles away maybe call a popular local radio show they would be willing to announce a found bird on thier show for a day or two.. You can also call a bird rescue to see if anyone has called there saying they lost a bird... If you can take care of this little guy till you can find his rightful owner that would be great.. I am sure he is scared to death..Make sure you put out posters and a ad in the paper about a found budgie but don't give too much info you don't want the wrong person coming over just to get a free bird.. Good luck and I hope you can find his human flockWe found a budgie and have taken it home. What are the next steps we should take?
Take it to a vet and get him/her to check if it is sick.

Go to your local breeder and ask of anyone who wants a budgie, see if your breeder knows the gender of the budgie so if the previous owner does find the bird they'll know it's theirs.

With the cage problem i'd say get a gage with bars that are closer together so the budgies head wont get caught.

If you want to keep this budgies cage a little mare exciting put some ladders, ropes or any other toys you can find, this may also help that head catching problem.
