Restaurant workers in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, have launched an appeal for the return of a beloved chicken by the name of Mabel. The poultry was a “community staple” and was often seen perched outside the restaurant. Unfortunately, surveillance footage shows that Mabel was kidnapped, or birdnapped, by an unknown individual.
Mabel was known to all the customers and workers at Top Hat Deli in Southern Florida, and the bird had quickly become a beloved part of the restaurant. So much so that Top Hat Deli manager Julio Rodriguez felt genuine concern when he came in to work in the morning and couldn’t find her.
