Desc: I lost my Rainbow Lorikeet on 9/14/09, he was lost on 37th street between Quentin rd & Ave R
I received a call yesterday evening stating he flew into the candy store-
Ammar Mini Mart @ 2070 Flatbush Ave Brooklyn, NY 11234 between Ave P & Quentin rd (closer to P, 2 doors down from the pharmacy - phone number 718-421-6460
The caller stated a small black & white cat chased the bird in, it landed on a shelf and the guy in the store wrapped him in a towel and took him upstairs
Of course I raced over to ask
At first the guy said no bird ever came in the store, then when I told him someone that was in the store at the time called me and told me they saw it, he then changed the story and said yes a bird did come in but he let it go, he then asked where did I lose my bird, I said 37th & Quentin.
He asked how did the bird get over here?
If he let the bird go, he KNOWS it can fly, when I stated that fact, he then changed the story again saying the bird just sat on the fence
then as I questioned more he said it couldn't be my bird because the bird that came in the store was very small and wasn't colorful (NOT WHAT HE SAID 2 MIN BEFORE)
The caller saw my flyers and he's not your average bird, hard to mistake him for any other type of bird wild or not and they were so certain it WAS my bird
The guy just seemed like he was lying, I don't know if I'm just in such a panic state that I just want him to have him or what, but the changing story makes me so uneasy
I went back to the store this morning, The guy I spoke to this morning had just about the same changing story
I brought a flyer with me and asked if he'd ever seen this bird, he said no
Then I said I was here last night and the guy working confirmed that the bird did fly into the store
He said oh yea I remember, what did he tell you happened to the bird?
I said no, no you tell me what happened to the bird
He said, he probably let him go
I got very upset, and started arguing with him
He asked what would they do with a bird, I said I don't know the other guy said he has a daughter, maybe he allowed her to keep it and now feels bad taking it back?
It's a beautiful unusual bird that can speak & is very friendly
He said that couldn't have happened because they don't even like birds, meanwhile the guy last night said they used to have parrots
Something just doesn't add up, why would someone with nothing to gain lie about this?
And how would they know about the cat (I saw the cat last night so I know I'm in the right store, and both times - last night & this morning they had the back door open so it's so possible, they have a small garden in the back yard the bird was probably looking for something to eat, as I said he eats nectar, fruit & flowers so a garden would be attractive to him)
Once again I am asking for all the help I can get
If you know something about this incident (maybe you were in the store at the time, heard something about it etc) PLEASE contact me 347-671-4848
If you know/visit this store - Ammar Mini Mart @ 2070 Flatbush Ave Brooklyn, NY 11234 between Ave P & Quentin rd - closer to P, 2 doors down from the pharmacy - phone number 718-421-6460
PLEASE ask if they have my bird and ask to PLEASE return him
If you live in the neighborhood, ask anyone you know who may use this store to PLEASE ask about my bird
There is a REWARD to anyone who gets him back to me
I'm also asking advice, should I just let this go?
Someone said I should call the police but I don't have any evidence that they still have my bird (although I am SURE it was MY bird that flew into their store)
I make another plea to anyone in the area, PLEASE keep your eyes & ears open for my lost Lorikeet
It was MY BIRD in the store IF the guy let him go he's STILL IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
If you have him, know who has him, see him or think you've seen him PLEASE contact 347-671-4848
I am extremely worried about him, he's not an ordinary parrot as he does not eat seeds, he's a nectar eater and has a very special diet
He is friendly and will not bite
If you are able to catch him PLEASE DO NOT give him any seeds, you can offer him some honey or sugar water or fresh fruit (grapes, apple, pear etc) for the time being
I have his hatch certificate as proof of ownership (with band #)
PLEASE I beg if you see him or are able to catch him or hear of someone finding a very colorful bird - call 347-671-4848 ASAP
$$$REWARD$$$ is being offered
