Toilet roll reward offered for return of schoolboy’s cockatiel

A family whose pet cockatiel has flown the coop are offering a much-sought-after reward to the person who helps find him – a pack of toilet rolls. Oreo, who is seven months old and often sings ‘If you’re happy and you know it’, escaped through the back door of his owners’ home in Norfolk on Friday, March 27th. Karen Hume, who bought the pet for her 12-year-old son Michael last year, said the bird usually stuck to flying around the lounge but had decided to follow her into the kitchen.
