A specialist parrot trainer has been brought in to help search for missing St Mary Cray parrot Albert.

The African grey escaped from owner Michelle Andrews in Broomfield House, Cotmandene, on Wednesday night (April 15).

Despite tirelessly searching for three days, the red tailed bird has not yet turned up.

Ms Andrews, 46, has enlisted the help of parrot trainer Ryan Wyatt, who has his own specially trained parrots.

It is hoped the birds will be able to lure Albert out from his hiding place.

Albert has a red tail and two white toes

Ms Andrews said: “He has been missing for three days and there’s been no sign of him.

“They usually come out on the third day, he will be showing himself today and will probably be very vocal as he’s hungry.”

Eight-month-old Albert has not yet mastered a wide range of vocabulary, but can say ‘hello’ and ‘alright’.

She added: “I’m pretty sure I heard him last night by the church, but it was so dark I couldn’t see properly.

“I’m confident it’s Albert I can hear whistling. He’s probably flying about looking for food.”

Mr Wyatt assisted in the search late on Wednesday and his back today (April 17) with parrot Zazu.
