A rare, brightly-plumed bird was
spotted on a college campus in Pennsylvania Thursday and police are now
searching for its owner in hopes of returning the bird home.
Employees at Lehigh University in
Bethlehem found a bird believed to be a Sun Parakeet, otherwise known as a Sun
Conure, in a tree on campus.
The parakeet is an
endangered species of parrot native to South America
that can grow to be nearly two feet long.
Officers from the Lehigh
University Police Department were able to place the bird in a cage. The bird,
which police say is unharmed, was wearing an ankle identifier when found.
The bird has yellow, orange and
green feathers, and its age is unknown.
The bird is currently being held
at the Lehigh University Police Department while they try to track down the
owner. Police have already received a couple of inquiries about the bird.
If you have information about the
bird's owner, contact Lehigh University Police at 610-758-4200.
