Lost Sheffield wildlife centre parrot Charlie found.
WILDLIFE CENTRE
A lost parrot has been returned to its home after a group of teenagers
lured it with a chocolate biscuit in a supermarket car park.
Blue-fronted Amazon parrot Charlie went missing from the Tropical
Butterfly House, Wildlife & Falconry Centre, near Sheffield, on
Wednesday.
She was spotted by shoppers at Tesco in Dinnington, about two miles from
home.
It is thought the wind blew her off course and she was unable to find her
way home.
Abigail Carter, from the centre, said Charlie was found in a tree,
covered in crumbs, and munching on the chocolate biscuit, given to her by a
group of teenagers.
She said although chocolate was not good for parrots, she praised the
actions of the youngsters for keeping Charlie occupied for long enough for them
to get to her.
Blogger's note: This parrot is personally known to
me. I have met her several times at The Tropical Butterfly House with my
granddaughters.
