Missing Bird May Be Found: Zoo
Philadelphia Zoo
This Sun Conure bird flew the coop from the Zoo.
A yellow tropical bird residing at the Philadelphia Zoo flew the coop Wednesday but may have returned early afternoon Friday, said Zoo sources.
Officials at the Zoo did not release how or where they may have found the missing Sun Conure bird. They will not be able to verify that the bird found is the correct one until Friday night, sources said.
Basically they captured a bird that they believed could be the bird but they weren't able to tell for sure as of Friday afternoon, said Zoo officials.
The Zoo sent out a cry for help Friday to all citizens, so that city residents would look out for the tropical parrot.
The bird was doing a free flight during the zoo's daily "Festival of Flight" when it took off and didn't return Wednesday, according to the Inquirer.
"Because this was a younger bird and not so familiar with the zoo, we figure he just lost his way," said Bill Larson, director of communications for the Zoo.
