It is very fortunate that Big Bird returned home. He should be examined by your veterinarian to diagnose any illness or injury sustained during his time outside. He may settle in after his experience but it could take time. Move slowly and speak softly around him. Offer praise and treats when he exhibits good behaviors. Be patient.
