Four weeks outside their natural habitat. This has been the life of a cockatoo that has survived on food from a supermarket in Sydney. The bottles of water and pieces of brioche offered by the night worker have served to certify the survival of the bird.
According to the British newspaper ‘The Guardian’, the Minister of the Environment of New South Wales, Penny Sharpe, has denied that the animal is going to be sacrificed as had been spread on social networks.
“Mickey – as the bird is called – has been safely captured by rescuers.” «After spending too much time in Macarthur Square he is being evaluated by experts. We hope that tomorrow you can fly free», the government representative has communicated.
To support the work of the emergency services and get the animal back into its natural habitat, after four weeks at the ‘Coles’ supermarket in Campbelltown, the local bird rescue director moved a new cockatoo. Despite the good start of the operation, Mickey got scared and hid again.
«He was very scared, but the other animal calmed him down, however, The emergency doors opened and that scared him.», said the head of the bird rescue organization ‘Feathered Friends’, Ravi Wasan.
Despite the confirmation of the minister who has expressed the return of the bird to its natural habitat, the authorities of the Metropolitan Wildlife Service have stressed that the rescue efforts have become “a nightmare to capture the cockatoo».
