Parrots missing from London zoo found behind Cambridgeshire garden

Escaped blue-throated macaws, named Lily and Margot, were tracked down after numerous sightings

London zoo’s “critically endangered” missing parrots have been found 60 miles away behind a local family’s garden in Cambridgeshire.

The escaped birds were tracked down after numerous sightings from local residents, and were eventually found in the back garden of a family in Buckden. They flew away once more before being traced to a field and public footpath in nearby Brampton.
