The hunt is on for Sky the escapee budgie.

Owner Sue Melo is desperate to track him down after he bolted from his cage from her dad’s back garden in Belton.

She said: “I hope to get him back because he’s a beautiful bird. He’s such a happy little thing.

“He’s the first bird I’ve had and he’s spoiled by all the grandchildren, he’s just gorgeous.”

Seven year old Sky, who has a white ring around his leg, escaped on Thursday.

? Anyone he has seen Sky, or may know where he is, should call Sue on 07982255819.
