Hey Bert, we've found your lost parrot

Hey Bert, we've found your lost parrot
TACOMA - Have you lost a parrot recently? Is your name Bert?

If so, we think we know where your bird is.

The Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County says they have a lost parrot that's been calling for its owner.

Community Relations manager Tom Sayre said a local resident, Andy Rogers, went out back to see what his dog was barking at, and in the process, an Amazon Parrot landed on his arm.

"It is obvious that this parrot has been around people and dogs as neither seemed to startle it," Rogers said.

Knowing it was well cared for; he knew that someone would be looking for it so he took it to the Humane Society, where it is being cared for until it can be hopefully reunited with its owner.

Since taking up residence at the Humane Society, the feathered friend is becoming quite chatty, Sayre said. In addition to calling the name "Bert" over and over, it also greets visitors with "good morning" and sends them off with a "bye".

If the owner doesn't come forward, the Humane Society plans to make this Yellow Nape Amazon Parrot available for adoption.
