Thumbs up Returning To The Nest

RETURNING TO THE NEST
By LUCY CARNE

December 17, 2007 -- Who's a lucky boy?

A pet parrot with a Brooklyn accent who was stolen on the Upper East Side has turned up in a Queens restaurant.

The 18-year-old African gray named Franklin was swiped from posh pet boarding house Sutton Aviary on the day before Thanksgiving while his owners visited family in Florida.

Within 24 hours, Franklin - shoved inside a Pampers diaper box - was being peddled on a street in Jamaica, Queens, where a waitress named Elizabeth bought him for her kids. [Read on….]

This story brought tears to my eyes. Can you just imagine the reunion? I'm sure they thought Franklin was lost to them forever.

What a story! I can't imagine what that poor lady went through when she learned her precious fid was stolen. I don't know what I would do if that happened to me! At least the lady who purchased Franklin had a good and kind heart and returned Franklin to his family. What a happy ending! I'm so glad that you shared that with all of us.

I read posts about that missing bird on Craig's List a few weeks back. It was so sad!

Oh thank God they found him!

OMG Im sitting here crying! All I can think of is, if that was my Mr Buddy. This was the greatest Christmas gift of all! I would have NOT accepted the reward though. Just get the baby back home.

That was awsome. I would not have taken the reward...maybe just what I paid for the bird.
