From the Annapolis Captial:
[Baltimore MD 4/2/98 (AP))
The Secret Service agent thought the exotic bird flying around Camden Yards
during a baseball game was obviously out of place.
"I know in Baltimore there are no birds with green feathers," said Andrew
Mutchler, who was attending an exibition game Sunday with his 12 year-old
son when he spotted the parrot in the rafters. "I stuck my finger in the air
and it landed on it."
The exhuasted bird belongs to Natasha Parks, who lives five blocks away from
the staduim, but Mr. Mutchler didn't know that yet. He coaxed a vendor into
giving him a box to take the bird home. On Monday, a Mutchler relative saw
a classified ad that Mrs. Parks had begun running that day.
Halsey, Ms.  Parks' black-faced Nanday Conure parrot, escaped Saturday night
through the open French doors of her home.
Coincidently, Ms. Parks and her mother were at the game between the Orioles
and New York Mets when she thought she heard the distinctive piercing screech
of the pet she has owned for four years.
"I thought there was no way I will ever find him," said Ms. Parks.
... Anything not permenently nailed down is a parrot toy...
