Has anyone lost a pet parrot? Found in Nunhead...

[supergolden88]

A huge thank you for the cage to Maysel - our refugee is already happy in it!

[curlykaren]

[kyna]

Parrot is called 'hubble' and owners number is: 079 80906479, via poster on a tree outside Nunhead cemetery.

Oooooh, I hope owner and parrot are reunited soon!

[Polmoche]

It's definitely the parrot--judging from the photo on the lost poster (attached). Apparently he has a ring on him with 01/DA/08 on it and likes to say things like hiya Reggie.

[supergolden88]

Reggie has been reunited with his owners so this has been a story with a happy ending!

[jollybaby]

Hooray and hope you haven't too much cleaning up to do!!

"Oooooh, I hope owner and parrot are reunited soon!"

Me too! Let us know how the reunion went :-)

[curlykaren]

brilliant, what a fantastic overnight guest to have had x

[chermoore]

Justwant to say "Thank you again" for finding him and taking care of Reggie! It is so good to have him back. Thanks again. He is happily chatting away now sitting on the TV. Thank you.

Kind regards, Cher and Hubbell.

It was our pleasure. And our daughter dissolved into tears the minute you left and sobbed that she wanted a parrot...

Hello, Lindsay here from the South London Press newspaper. Have you heard from the owners yet? Would you like us to do a story on it?

You can call me on 020 87106437, if you like. All the best, Lindsay

If you read the thread Lindsay you'll get the answer to whether they've heard from the owners.

Made p43 of today's sun, although not quite how it happened

Couldn't find the story on the Sun site, only an Australian papaer that's picked up the story. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/breaking-news/runaway-parrot-returns-to-london-home-for-a-tipple/story-fn3dxity-1225863867791

The story seems to have a twist that didn't appear here. Perhaps we should cobble together our own version to sell. "Parrot's rehab flight foiled. I just want to go dry, says Reggie".

[ruffers]

Same copy in my favourite paper, the Daily Mail, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1274999/Escaped-parrot-lured-home-red-wine-crisps.html?ito=feeds-newsxml

I wonder what Hubble thinks of this story. Can anything be believed in the papers?

[supergolden88]

I just read the story in DM. What utter rubbish! And they have used the picture we took to post here... I am glad to say we fed him a better diet while he was vacationing with us! I have posted my comment to the DM forum but dont hold much hope it will appear on there

[ianr]

> And they have used the picture we took to post here...

Without your permission? Send them an invoice.

[supergolden88]

naturally without permission. I dont know where they got it unless it was here

[sheilarose]

Threaten to sue them for breach of copyright.

[Sue]

Well one person with presumably press contacts has posted on this thread ......

[supergolden88]

we are looking into it. The story has now been posted in the Times and accross the world

The problem is that the story has been picked up by various papaers and websites with our picture. Not sure where it originated and who wrote the article
