Critically endangered parrots who escaped London Zoo found 60 miles away
Two critically endangered who escaped from London Zoo during a routine flight have been found.
Lily and Margot, who are blue-throated macaws, escaped from their enclosure on October 21.
They were discovered in Cambridgeshire on Sunday after a flurry of sightings.
The zoo was alerted by a family in Buckden who spotted the birds in behind trees in their garden.
The pair fled the scene before birdkeepers arrived but were later tracked to a field in Brampton.
They were confirmed to be the missing birds and immediately flew into the arms of the zoo’s experts, who treated them to walnuts, pumpkin seeds and pecans.
Lily and Margot will be reunited with parents Popeye and Ollie after a period in quarantine.
The blue-throated macaw was believed to be extinct until some were recognised in the Bolivian savannah in 1992.
Because of this Lily and Margot are ‘ambassadors’ for their species, London Zoo said.
