A 13-year-old macaw flew fifty feet up into a tree and was too scared to fly down. Emma Hooper of Botley, England believes that Cleo flew away because she was distressed at moving to a new home. When the RSPCA refused to come, Hooper called to rent a hydraulic lift, but was told it wouldn’t be available until the next day. Hooper stayed by the tree all night long.
The cherry picker arrived at 7:30 AM, and Cleo was finally brought down. She had spent 16 hours on the same branch. Link -via Arbroath

"I felt so helpless. It was awful, the worst feeling in the world.
"I took out a chair and blanket but I was getting strange looks from people driving by.
"They looked very confused when I said my bird was stuck up in the tree.
"I ended up driving my car around the corner and parked next to the tree. It was warmer and I felt safer but I still got no sleep.

Since you don't often see parrot skeletons perched on branches, I suspect that in the end they come down on their own.

You don't find too many dead cats at the bottom of trees either, so what's the point of rescuing them? Fair is fair you know.

I agree - cats make their own way down.

But if my bird was up in a tree i would want it back. And even more so if the bird in question is one like that.
