Reward offered for Gordo the missing Parrot!
Gordo is still missing (so is Moe, but that's another story.) Anyway Gordo's owner is now offering a reward for help in getting the Parrotback in the cage where he belongs. Here's the story:
BALDWIN PARK - The owner of a stolen Guatemalan parrot is setting up a reward fund in an effort to hasten the search for his beloved missing bird. Fred Mireles has already received pledges of more than $100 to help find his pet, Gordo - a 30-year-old green Malaysian parrot who was stolen from his cage on Mireles' front porch about a week ago.
Gordo is known throughout Baldwin Park as the skateboarding parrot, after the mini-skateboard Mireles made for him so they could take daily walks together.
"I've been talking to a lot of people, showing pictures," said Mireles, 37. "If this is what it takes to find Gordo, I don't care."
Mireles has been working with Baldwin Park police, but officials have said the search could be tough unless someone comes forward.
Since Gordo was stolen, Mireles' story has attracted national attention. He's gotten calls from news agencies throughout California and in New York, and he's even been on a radio morning show in Iowa.
Birdsandmore.com, an online store for bird enthusiasts, has listed Gordo under its directory of stolen pets.
And Find Toto, a nationwide pet finding service, has also extended assistance to Mireles.
