Budgies stolen from Bristol primary school leaving children and teachers in tears

Teachers and children at a Bristol primary school were left in tears this morning after heartless thieves broke into the school and stole all their pet budgies.

Brentry Primary School had 20 budgies in a purpose-built heated aviary, but last night at just after 11.30pm, two people got into the school, broke the lock to the door and took all the birds. Shocked pupils and staff say they feel ‘devastated’ and fear they will never see their beloved birds again.

The school caretaker realised the birds were gone just after 6am this morning (Thursday, March 9) and CCTV revealed two people getting into the aviary and then walking off, carrying the birds in three breeding boxes that were stored in the aviary.
