You need to do what's right for you.  I lost a budgie because she flew
down a hallway she'd never approached before, following my son's
voice, and went out the door as he opened it from the outside.   We
never recovered her, even though she stayed in our tree for many
hours, and we were called with several sightings in the weeks to
follow.
On a positive note, I found a darling budgie on our front lawn a year
and a half ago and captured him.   He's happy and healthy; someone's
loss was my gain.  :)
