Police are looking for two thieves caught on surveillance video swiping a large cage with a $2,500 parrot inside from an Orange County home.
Video showed the suspects pull up and double park in front of the home. One of the men quickly gets out, grabs the cage from the front porch and gets back to the red SUV, where the other man helps him load the cage into the vehicle before driving off. “We’re sad more for her than for us because we are not sure she’s getting the care that she needs or what their intentions are with her,” said Karen Gerardo, owner of the parrot, named Luna. Luna requires daily medication and is on a special diet, Gerardo said.
