After four weeks trapped inside a Sydney shopping centre, Mickey the cockatoo seemed relieved to get out.
Ravi Wasan – the director of Feathered Friends sanctuary who successfully captured the bird in the Coles supermarket at Macarthur Square yesterday – says once Mickey was outside “he was so happy, he was squawking”.
The sulphur-crested cockatoo hadn’t managed to leave by itself because it was likely scared, the shopping centre was large with high ceilings, and the exits were low and crowded with people, he says.
So he brought along Old Lady Doris, another cockatoo, as reassurance for Mickey. That led to some “really cute scenes where they were canoodling with each other”, Wasan says.
So what do you do if a bird like Mickey drops by and doesn’t – or can’t – leave?
