Owner of Missing Parrot Distressed
Katrenikona police said the pet owner has not lodged any formal complaint, but informed them about the parrot flying away.
Kakinada: Bandaru Dorababu of Kothapalem in Katrenikona mandal of Dr B.R. Ambedkar Konaseema district is a distressed man ever since his African Grey Parrot flew away on the Sankranti Day.
The 30-year-old, who works for an animation firm in Hyderabad, had taken out his parrot Charlie from its cage on Sankranti to clean the cage and feed the pet. Suddenly, there had been a loud noise. Startled, the parrot flew away. Dorababu has not been able to trace it despite his best efforts.
“My parrot sounded like a nightingale. Every day, it chanted Om Namaha Shivaya, Jai Sri Ram, Happy Day, and other words. It even told me ‘It is shower time, can you have a bath, take meals. I am grief-stricken,” Dorababu told Deccan Chronicle.
He refuses to believe that his parrot, which he had purchased for ₹80,000, could have deserted him. He suspects one of the residents of the village may have stolen his Charlie.
Dorababu approached Katrenikona police station sub-inspector Avinash, who sent a constable to search the house of the resident whom he suspects of stealing the parrot. But the parrot could not be found. Dorababu feels the parrot has been carried away to another place.
Katrenikona police said the pet owner has not lodged any formal complaint, but informed them about the parrot flying away.
