A stolen parrot disappeared in 2017. Nobody expected what happened next.

An African grey parrot has been reunited with its owner nearly nine years after being stolen during a burglary in 2017. The recovery was made possible through the use of a microchip and the persistent efforts of a rescue team. After disappearing for almost a decade, the bird is now back with its original owner, marking an unexpected conclusion to a long search for the missing pet following the initial theft years ago.
