People in Beccles and the surrounding areas have been asked to look out for an African Grey parrot which has escaped from its aviary in the town.

The male bird got loose at around 9.30am on Monday from the Rigbourne Hill area of Beccles.

Hazel Fenn, who breeds the birds, said she had contacted police and searched the area in a bid to find the bird which is distinctive since it has no feathers on its head and looks completely bald.

The males mate is sitting on eggs at the moment so the owner is hoping the bird can be found quickly.

Anyone with information is asked to contact 01502 715211 or 07901803376.
