A LITTLE boy who lost his pet parrot has found him nestling in trees at the bottom of the garden.
Shane Stubbings, five, was devastated when Jabba, an African Grey parrot, flew away from the family home in Sedgefield on Wednesday. The youngster had taken Jabba for some fresh air on a lead when it slipped from his hand and the parrot flew away.
Villagers joined the family family in a search that evening, but it was in vain.
The next day, Shane started screeching like a parrot to try to locate him - and was shocked to hear Jabba screeching back from a tree, 300 yards away.
Mum Janet Stubbings wants to thank all the villagers who helped look for Jabba.
