A COUPLE left heartbroken when their cockatoo flew off were reunited with their much-loved pet yesterday.
Thais Tawee and Punum Wanjan appealed for help through the GDN and put up scores of posters after three-year-old Kaewweuw flew out of their car in Isa Town on Sunday.
They offered a BD200 reward for the bird’s safe return and yesterday their plea paid off.
Mrs Wanjan received a call from a 25-year-old Bahraini, Sayed Hani Khalil, saying he had found Kaewweuw.
The Bahrain Fibre Glass Company employee said he spotted the bird in Isa Town and caught it.
“This bird is a cockatoo and I know that it is not usually found in Bahrain, so I approached it and found that it was friendly,” he said. Read more details here.

A CHATTERBOX parrot from Littleport went for a wander last Wednesday and was found three days later unable to utter a word.
Charlie the Harley, an African Grey, flew out of owners Frederick and Margaret Tunnel’s house near City Road as Mr Tunnel opened the gate to let a visitor in.
“By Saturday morning, when he still hadn’t come home, we were starting to think the worst,” said Mrs Tunnel.
Charlie was finally found on Saturday, perched on a BMW near the King’s Lynn roundabout by the car’s eagle-eyed owner, who had seen the ‘lost’ posters put up around the village. “He’s obviously a bird with a bit of class,” said Mr Tunnel. “We’ve no idea how far he travelled, but he’s lost a lot of weight and is very traumatised.” More details here.

A Middletown couple are offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the return of a lost parrot.
“We lost him about three years ago to the day, and we believe he’s still in the area,” Aurelia Ward of Middletown Village said earlier this month. “He’s a very special part of this family, and we have never stopped looking for him. … He’s my first parrot.”
She and her husband, Kennon, believe — and hope — their people-friendly bird — named Galen — talked to someone who took him in, but will return him if they know he is missed.
They ask anyone with information on his whereabouts to call a toll-free number, (877) 263-0285. More details here.

THE RSPCA is urging the public to come forward with any information they might have about the shooting deaths of cockatoos at Caringbah.
The call follows the discovery of a wounded cockatoo in a backyard in Le Hane Plaza, Caringbah, on January 4. The cocky had been shot in the chest by a slug gun.
The RSPCA is now investigating.
RSPCA inspector Ainslie Lund said the bird had suffered before it died.
“A post-mortem showed the slug from the gun entered the front of the bird, pierced its bowel and lodged in its back,” she said. More details here.
