BRIDGEWATER, N.S. – Schooner, the parrot stolen from a Bedford pet store, has been seized from a Bridgewater home.
A 29-year-old man has been charged for stealing the parrot on Monday night. He is charged with theft and possession, and will be in Halifax court Thursday morning.
Pictures from a surveillance video show the blue-fronted Amazon parrot under a man’s arm outside a Pets Unlimited store. The suspect shoplifted the bird, while another man distracted staff, said Jim Harrison, district sales manager at Pets Unlimited. It is not clear whether the man in the surveillance photo is the man who is charged.
Information provided by the public contributed to the bird’s retrieval, said Staff Sgt. Barb Saunders of the Halifax Regional Police. The condition of the bird is not known.
