African Grey’s Stolen From Drayton Manor Theme Park.
How Sad! Drayton Manor theme park is appealing for the safe return of its African Grey Parrots after thieves stole six of the birds from its zoo.
The theft happened at Drayton Manor Theme Park sometime between Tuesday evening and early morning on Wednesday after thieves gained access to one of the aviary flights.
Managing director Colin Bryan appealed for the return of the birds.
He said: “The birds are tame and easily identifiable.
“As well as being an attraction at Drayton Manor Zoo, the parrots are also favourites with the keepers who are anxious for their welfare.
“If anyone hears of or knows the whereabouts of these parrots then please contact John Hayward, co-ordinator of the National Theft Register on 01869 325699 as soon as possible.”
Drayton Manor is offering a reward for the safe return of the parrots and any information, which might lead to a conviction of the thieves
Makes you sick when people steal parrots for a money making profit, it’s the poor birds who suffer as they are normally passed on to people who have not got a clue how to care for them properly and think they are getting a bargain by getting a cheap parrot, poor things!
