Escaped Pet Parrot In Keighley Hunt Continues

A father has made a desperate plea for Keighley people to help him find his beloved pet parrot.

Macy, an African Grey, escaped on Saturday evening as owner Jason Kaberry opened the door of his house in Back Cromer Grove, Keighley, to put out the rubbish.

Despite a search party of six looking for the parrot, including two schoolgirls who witnessed her flight, Macy still remains at large.

Mr Kaberry said six-year-old Macy was spotted near St John’s Church, at Ingrow, on Saturday night, but by the time they arrived at the site she was nowhere to be seen.

The 37-year-old said: “We were looking for her with flashlights and some people had called the police thinking we were burglars acting suspiciously but I managed to persuade them otherwise.

“We have had Macy since she was a chick and on Saturday she must have seen the open door and thought it was her big chance for freedom. We searched all Saturday night but it was dark and we couldn’t find her. I have notified the RSPCA and it said that because it has been windy, she might not have flown too far.”

“He added: “If anyone spots her they could give me a call and I could come and get her. It is very important that we find her, she is the family pet.”

Mr Kaberry can be contacted on 01535 604797, 01422 249811 or 07917 732362.

Our thoughts go out to Mr Kaberry we can relate to his distress as our pet grey Reggie did exactly the same thing, we can also say there is plenty of hope for him as we found our beloved Reggie two weeks later after he flew 60 miles down the road.
