A doctor in Aligarh is downhearted these days as his rare breed African parrot has been missing for the past few days! Well, this exactly happened with doctor S.K. Varshney’s of Lucknow who lodged an FIR complaint at Quarsi Police station in Aligarh about his missing parrot. Well, the parrot was indeed a special one as it costs anything between Rs 1.5 to 2.5 lakh and the doctor has even announced a cash reward of Rs 5000 for anyone who will bring his favourite pet back!
The grey parrot, also known as the Congo grey parrot or Congo African grey parrot got missing a few days back from the owner Dr Varshney's house. The doctor tried to find the parrot by putting his posters on the street and also went door-to-door in his neighbourhood to look for the pet. When he failed to find his parrot, he ended up going to the Quarsi Police station in Aligarh and requested the police inspectors to find the pet.
The red-tailed Congo African Grey parrot was brought by the doctor's daughter Saumya who is also an animal lover. Saumya had bought the parrot from Bangalore as a gift for his father, reportedly at the cost of Rs. 2 to 2.5 lakh. Dr Varshney even claimed that the grey parrot used to communicate with him and used to mimic 25-30 sounds. Within the few days of his arrival, the grey parrot had become his best partner!
The doctor also told that he loved talking to the pet whenever he used to come home after his work. He also claimed that he would ask him different questions and he would answer them quickly. He loved spending his time while listening and talking to the parrot. These rare breed African parrots are very expensive and their feeding cost too is also high as they do not eat anything but dry fruits, and other fruits like apple, banana, chiku etc.
Well, Uttar Pradesh has a quite fun history of missing animals and the owners registering police complaints usually by the ministers. For Instance, former Samajwadi Party Minister Azam Khan’s buffaloes were missing and his FIR complaint had hogged national headlines that time.
