A STORRIDGE woman is appealing for anyone who sees a cockatiel in the area to contact her.

Sandra Masterson saw her 14-year-old pet, named Dickie Bird, fly out of her house after it was disturbed by visitors on Saturday, August 26. Although for the first two days of Dickie's escape Ms Masterson could see him, she could not get to him.

She said he was likely to be high up in a tree, possibly in the woods. Anyone who spots Dickie, who is grey with bright red cheeks, is asked to call 01886 884414.
