Rural Parrot

I have run a number of And Finally stories in the past with a focus on non indigenous charismatic mega fauna – here is the latest…

A parrot called Alfie has been returned to his owners after going missing for five days.

Linda Rose said she was “distraught” after the African grey escaped from his cage and flew from the garden of her home in Wyke Regis.

After a public appeal he was spotted in the village singing perched in a tree.

He was captured after he flew down from the tree and helped himself to a man’s packet of crisps
