Libertyville Police Reunite Pet Cockatiel With Owner

LIBERTYVILLE, IL — Some days are more interesting than others for police. Officers with the Libertyville Police Department can attest to that.

While Libertyville police are used to interacting with the public, every now and then, they cross paths with "non-humans" in need of help, too.

Last week, police found someone's pet bird, a cockatiel, near Jimmy’s Charhouse on Peterson Road and safely captured it.

Thanks to the power of social media, police were able to reunite the bird, whose name is Rocky, with its owner.

"Thank you for everyone’s help, we are so happy to have him back home! Thank you LPD for rescuing my sweet bird!" posted the bird's owner who goes by the name "Lilly Flower" on Facebook. "I am thankful and blessed to have such dedicated hard-working officers serving and protecting all!"

While she is relieved to have Rocky back home, the bird's owner said she is still on the lookout for three of her other cockatiels that managed to somehow escape.

If you find them, contact Libertyville police at 847-362-8310.

Cockatiels are native to Australia and are known for their playful and social personalities, according to PetMD.
