Scenario: Your bird has their first Free Flight, everything is going well until a plane goes overhead and your parrot spooks toward a nearby tree. How do you respond?
You stand still and do not call or run over, letting them fly into the tree so you don't further spook your bird, after you see that your bird has calmed down, you walk over and attempt to recall your bird down.
You quickly attempt to recall them and possibly use your whistle while making sure to keep yourself in their line of sight in hopes they will recover from the spook before landing in the tree.
You run after them while calling so that they can easily land on you without having to go far.

Continued Scenario: No matter what you chose in the last question, your parrot ended up flying into the nearby tree. The biggest thing you need to do is stay calm. Your parrot is roughly 15 feet up the tree on a branch that is very easy to descend from. You attempt to recall your parrot down on and off for about 10 minutes, this does not seem to be going anywhere and you realize your parrot is now tree sitting. What do you do?
You decide to give it time, continuing to call your bird on and off but leaving enough time in between to not numb your bird to the cues.
You decide to walk away from the tree, in hopes that your parrot sees you leaving and flies to you.
You decide to try and climb the tree and get your parrot. (Or find a ladder or call someone you know can climb it, or others things like this)
You decide to try and toss twigs or leaves at your bird, in hopes of spooking them down as you think they will recover and recall to you.
