Lily & Margot - Blue-Throated Macaws - Escape London Zoo, Found Safe & Sound 6 Days & 60 Miles Away In Cambridgeshire
London zoo’s “critically endangered” missing parrots have been found 60 miles away behind a family’s garden in Cambridgeshire.
The escaped birds were tracked down after numerous sightings from local residents, and were eventually found in the back garden of a family in Buckden. They flew away once more before being traced to a field and public footpath in nearby Brampton. Once the zookeepers came to collect the parrots, they reportedly flew into the keeper’s arms and were given treats such as pumpkin seeds, walnuts and pecans.
The two parrots, named Lily and Margot, did not return to their enclosure on 21 October after their usual routine of flying freely, and were subsequently missing for six days until zookeepers were able to track down the missing blue-throated macaws in Cambridgeshire.
The parrots are believed to be in quarantine at London zoo, and are due to return back with their parents who are also at the zoo once their quarantine period is finished.
