After suffering the loss of more than two dozen parrots in their care, a Florida nonprofit is offering a $20,000 reward for the safe return of the animals.
Officials with the Parrot Outreach Society said that their facility on Elizabeth Street in Punta Gorda was broken into around 3 a.m. Tuesday."We are absolutely devastated and are asking all our followers to be on the lookout for our babies," the organization said in a Facebook post."We ask all breeders to be on the lookout. These birds mean the world to all of our volunteers, and we are all heartbroken.
"We care for these birds so much," said volunteer Isabella Grelik-Ammouri."It's what I look forward to doing at the end of the week. We all care; we all want them back."
