DOVER — The bird perched on a railing at Jay Noble’s dairy farm Thursday didn’t seem out of the ordinary, at first.

Noble’s brother, John, who works at the farm on Highway A in Dover, walked toward the bird, thinking it was just another pigeon, until he saw the red tail.

That’s when John Noble, 27, knew the bird in the barn was no pigeon. The grey bird with the red tail was a parrot that took off four days earlier from its bird sitter’s house in the Town of Rochester as it was being taken inside.

"It was kind of weird," said John Noble, who counts finding the parrot as one of the strangest things he’s seen. "We didn’t really know what to do about it." [LINK: Read full story...Photos & Video]
