Hunt for owners of missing parrot found being 'attacked by seagulls' in Roundhay Park
An appeal has been issued for owners of a parrot found in Leeds' biggest park.
An African grey parrot was found in Roundhay Park on Thursday in a state of distress as it was attacked by a flock of gulls.
A Facebook post from Olivia Houseman has been shared hundreds of times in a bid to reunite the exotic pet with is owner.
Olivia described the bird as "very distressed".
She wrote: "I managed to rescue it from being attacked by a pack of seagulls. It’s very grateful and seems to be warming to me.
"It has a silver ring on its leg.
"I called the RSPCA but they said they can’t come because it’s ‘too dangerous’ and they told me to ‘just leave it’.
"Like I could just leave an animal to die? ‘Health and Safety’ means they can’t come rescue someone’s pet ?? It’s not an alligator. Thankfully I have a very kind family who have come over to help me.
"Please contact me if you can help me reunite this beautiful bird with its owner!"
