A Lynbrook woman is hopeful for the return of her pet galah after it flew away from her family home on Tuesday morning 5 October.
Laura Black has posted information about her missing her pink cockatoo on Facebook and is praying someone may spot him.
“He is tame but might be frightened so please approach slowly,” she wrote.
“He loves pine nuts, walnuts and sunflower seeds. His right wing was clipped when we got him but the feathers have slowly been coming back, so he can fly but not very well.”
Ms Black said her beloved galah named Bink had accidentally escaped their home and flew off towards May Gibbs Crescent.
“I lost sight of him,” she explained after Bink was spooked by another bird about 8am.
“He got out of the door while I was going out and he followed me.”
Ms Black said Bink, whom she has owned since the start of the year, was a part of the family and loved to follow their 11-month old son Silvanno around their home “like a puppy”.
“He’s a bit young to understand he’s gone at the moment,” she said.
“I’m just miserable. We’ve got his cage and his perch outside because we’re hoping he might sort of see it and recognise it and come home.”
Anyone with information is encouraged to call Ms Black on 0447 255 166.
