Rare Bird Missing In Baltimore
Reporting
Ron Matz
BALTIMORE (WJZ) ―
A rare South American bird is missing in South Baltimore.
He's a beloved family pet and, as
Ron Matz reports, an all-out search is underway in Federal Hill.
From the rooftop of her home, Gita Ollange is calling Connor. His cage is empty and she is heartbroken. Her beautiful gold crown conure flew away three days ago.
"I'm hoping that somebody has him," she said. "He's very smart and gorgeous and he responds to his name."
Gita has been distraught since her beloved pet flew off. Connor was recently seen atop a nearby apartment building.
Posters have been placed all over Federal Hill.
Connor's cage is waiting for him on their rooftop deck and the family is praying for his safe return.
"I'm not losing hope. Any pet owner knows that they are not pets. They are part of your family. I hope to have him back soon," she said.
A cash reward is being offered for Connor's return. If you have any information, call
410-230-0807.
