A resident promises 200 euros to anyone who finds her beloved parrot

This is a somewhat unusual wanted notice that Claire, a resident of Indre-et-Loire, has just launched. Her parrot, Monsieur Kiwi, was stolen during the night of November 9 to 10 in Pocé-sur-Cisse, where she works, reports France Bleu Touraine. She has since held out hope of finding him. This 8-year-old parrot, a owl from Senegal, had been placed in the Touraine Fleurs store to brighten up the atmosphere and prevent him from being alone with his owner, details France 3 Centre-Val de Loire. “Everyone was happy to see him, even the kids,” Claire added to France Bleu.

She therefore launched a desperate appeal on social networks: “Money, I don't necessarily have a lot but I don't care. » She offers a reward of 200 euros to find her feathered companion.

Stolen by traffickers?

Since the theft, Claire, who considers Mr. Kiwi to be her “baby”, has not lost her temper. “It’s certain, it was stolen to be resold by traffickers […] they can resell it for 200 to 300 euros,” she assured. Claire suspects a precedent: five years previously, other birds had been stolen from the same store. She also learned that a customer at the store had lost her bird.

The Amboise gendarmes opened an investigation, and Claire filed a complaint, as did her employer. But the police are not convinced by the trafficking theory. “I’m going to miss him so much,” Claire despairs.
