Original story
With assistance from a thief, a beloved parrot has flown the coop from Ed91裸聊视频檚 World of Critters and Supplies, with a $400 reward offered for his safe return.
The vibrant yellow and orange sun conure went missing from the pet store at around 11: 30 a.m. on Monday, March 18, manager Jenny Ritchie said, adding that staff had put him back in his cage at 11 a.m., but didn91裸聊视频檛 notice him missing until around noon. The bird-napping occurred while one staff member was unloading an order at the side door and another busy in the fish room, leaving just one attendant up front.
None of them witnessed the bird being taken, but Ritchie, who wasn91裸聊视频檛 working that day, said the exterior security cameras did show someone enter the store with an open backpack and leave with it securely zipped up. She added that the bird is valued at about $1,800, but that91裸聊视频檚 secondary to the bird itself.
91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檙e more concerned with getting him back because it91裸聊视频檚 too cold out there for him,91裸聊视频� Ritchie said. 91裸聊视频淲e just want the bird back safely. We91裸聊视频檙e offering a $400 reward no questions asked. If you bring him back to us, we91裸聊视频檒l be happy campers.91裸聊视频�
Before reporting the theft to the RCMP, staff did ensure that the parrot didn91裸聊视频檛 disappear by some other means. Ritchie said they reviewed the outer security footage, there are no cameras inside the store and didn91裸聊视频檛 see the bird fly out the door. She also confirmed that they don91裸聊视频檛 currently have any on-site cats for adoption that would require interrogation.
The visually striking bird also makes a vocal impact and is 91裸聊视频渘otoriously loud,91裸聊视频� but when put into a dark space, such as a backpack, they go quiet. The chatty little bird is also 91裸聊视频渧ery friendly, and would have happily jumped onto someone91裸聊视频檚 hand,91裸聊视频� making his theft even easier.
91裸聊视频淭here91裸聊视频檚 been a lot of community support,91裸聊视频� Ritchie added. 91裸聊视频淭hat [Facebook] post has been shared a ton.91裸聊视频�
She asks that anyone with information on the bird, which has a numbered band on his leg, or the person who took him to contact the Salmon Arm RCMP at 250-832-6044, or Critters directly at 250-832-0604.
