Exotic Birds, Supplies Stolen From Pet Store

POSTED: Wednesday, April 18, 2007
UPDATED: 3:32 pm EDT April 18, 2007

Police said intruders made it out of a local pet store with several rare and expensive birds.

Patricia Fullerton is the owner of the Discount Pet Supplies store located on Middlebelt Road between 5 and 6 Mile roads.

"I came in through the opening in the door where it was broken, and I came in screaming and yelling," Fullerton said.

She said the thieves stole eight exotic birds, including one that was being boarded at the store. They also stole bags of the most expensive bird food, cages and water bottles. Fullerton is estimating the loss at $10,000.

"I want to get to the bottom of this, but the most important thing is to get Herbie back," Fullerton said. "We want Herbie back."

Herbie is a $1,300 Congo African Grey parrot that was in cage at the front of the store for all customers to see. Fullerton said he was being boarded there while his owner was on vacation.

Birds that customers board at the store are kept in locked cages, Fullerton said, and Herbie was in front because the owner wanted him to get more attention.
