A Wirral mum thought her daughter's cherished pet was 'going to die' when its cage was blown open by wind.
Zara Williams, from Upton, was more than relieved when she received a call two days after the parrot belonging to her daughter, Erin flew away from home. The call was from a family in the adjacent village of Greasby, informing her they had found the pet wounded by their garden shed.
The parrot, Precious, is particularly important to the family as it is a close friend and comfort animal to Erin, 10, who has autism. Precious was found looking 'like she had been shot out of the sky' by the Hanson family, who managed to nurse her back to good health and get in touch with Zara, 43, after appealing to Facebook.
