A FAMILY has appealed for anyone who may have seen their beloved grey pet parrot that escaped.

Booboo was last seen flying from her home at Lytchett Matravers on Tuesday.

The 14-year-old bird, which is largely grey in colour with the exception of red tail feathers, is usually very docile but flew away at around 7.30pm.

Jamie Myers said Booboo was on his mum Reena’s hand when she just took off.

“It’s a tame bird,” he said. “Its previous owner used to take it out all the time. But it just flew off her hand and went over the fence. The bird just decided to take off.”

Jamie, 26, said a woman contacted him to say she’d seen the bird around an hour later at Landers Reach and there were some sightings at Hann Garden over the weekend.

Should anyone find Booboo please call Mr Myers on 07714 037972.
