Local Pet Store Robbed, Exotic Birds StolenLocal Pet Store Robbed, Exotic Birds Stolen [City, State] – A local pet store has been the target of a brazen robbery, with thieves making off with several valuable exotic birds. According to store owner Emily Carter, the incident occurred sometime overnight on Tuesday. When she arrived at the store on Wednesday morning, she found the front window shattered and the bird cages empty. “I couldn’t believe my eyes,” said Carter. “These are not your average pet birds. They were all rare and exotic.” Among the stolen birds were two scarlet macaws, known for their vibrant plumage and intelligence; a blue-and-gold macaw, which is particularly prized for its beauty; a Moluccan cockatoo, with its distinctive white feathers and lively personality; and a rare Amazonian parrot. “These birds are not just pets,” said Carter. “They are part of our family.” Police are investigating the burglary and have released surveillance footage of two suspects believed to be involved. The suspects are described as two males, one wearing a black hoodie and the other a red baseball cap. “We are asking the public for any information that could help us identify these individuals,” said police spokesperson Officer Joseph Morales. The value of the stolen birds is estimated to be in the thousands of dollars. Carter said that the loss is not only financial but also emotional. “These birds were like our children,” she said. “We hope that someone will come forward and help us find them and bring them home.” Anyone with information about the robbery is urged to contact the local police department.
