Bring Back My Bird, Please!

"Please HELP us find our baby. My children and I are lost without him. He was stolen out of his home on August 23. He is blue and gold--very tall and thin for a B&G. He says, "hi", "hello", "Cairo", "Lil", "STOP!", "HELP", "MOM!", "are you ready?", whistles (come here and wolf) and sings, "bad birds bad birds, whatcha gonna do"...to the tune of Cops. 

He is very bonded to me because I raised him from two weeks old. He will not be friendly and he needs medication and if he is not fed a special diet and given his medication daily, he will die. Please help me. If you see him or hear him, please call me. If you have taken him, please just bring him back--NO QUESTIONS ASKED. We just want our baby bird back. ::sobbing::"
