An urgent appeal has gone out from a wildlife park in Hayle after one of their parrots disappeared.

Skittles was flying free with a flock of other Macaws when it went missing on Wednesday September 23.

The park has said they were on one of their scheduled daily four hour flights when it's thought that a sharp gust of wind blew the birds of course.

“Our flock of Scarlet Macaws fly free around the Park for up to four hours a day. But on Wednesday there was a sudden sharp increase in wind which caused four of the birds to be blown off course.

"Three of the four were located and retrieved within two hours of them going missing thanks to the help of local people who called in and reported their whereabouts.

"But Skittles has not been seen and we are now asking the public for their help in reporting any sightings to us. People can either message us on social media or call 01736 753365.”

Curator David Woolcock

Skittles was hatched in August 2015 making her 5 years old and has been free flying regularly since March 2017.
