Authorities are seeking to reunite a parrot found in a car park at Dublin Airport with its owner.
The bird was fund by airport police officers conducting a routine patrol with their dog Jimmy on Easter Sunday. Two Dublin Express coach sellers alerted the officers to the parrot perched on one of the bins outside Terminal 1. One officer had some nuts in his pocket and the parrot ate out of his hand. Officials initially thought the parrot was male. A vet check confirmed the parrot as a female Alexandrine parakeet named Troy.
Kevin Cullinane shared “Two airport police colleagues were on a routine patrol at Dublin Airport on Easter Sunday with their dog, Jimmy, when they were alerted by two Dublin Express coach sellers to a parrot perched on one of the bins outside Terminal 1. We thought it was a he at the time. We subsequently think it may be a she. One of the officers had some nuts in his pocket as it happened. So he approached the parrot and the parrot seemed to be quite hungry. But the parrot was happy to eat out of his hand.”
