Percy back with his owner Charlotte Dunnill A COCKATOO is safely back home after causing a bit of a flap when he spread his wings and took off for a fortnight.
His owner, beauty salon proprietor Charlotte Dunnill, pictured, said four-year-old Percy took the flight for freedom from her home at Avon near Sopley in the New Forest a fortnight ago.
Despite his bright pink and grey plumage he seems to have avoided being attacked by avian predators and was eventually caught at Moyles Court, midway between Ringwood and Fordingbridge.

Rascals: Prof David Watson will work on a $1.4 million project to find out just how much damage birds such as this sulphur-crested cockatoo, cause. They may be pretty, but at certain times of the year native parrots can be a major pest for Australian fruit and nut growers.
They cause up to $300 million damage each year, according to estimates by the Bureau of Rural Sciences.
A new, three-year $1.4 million project aims to find out just how much damage birds cause, why, and how it can be minimised.
Charles Sturt University ecologists began last month by conducting a bird monitoring course for workers at Select Harvests almond orchards near Boundary Bend, in northwest Victoria.

Scarlet macaw hanging around in the gutter.I'd first heard of John Strutt in 1999 via an Internet Forum - For the Love of Greys. I was seeking advice on free flying my baby CAG hen but the subscribers advised me to clip Artha 'for her own safety.' In one message I was told that someone in UK free flies a flock of greys. The writer doubted whether it was possible. Fifteen months later, I had tracked John down via The Parrot Society and he had invited me to Cumbria to see for myself.
So in June, we were driving from the railway station down blossom-edged lanes through the nearest village. Four blue and gold macaws swept past our car going in the same direction. It was like something out of Alice in Wonderland.
'Some of ours going home,' said John. Artha on my shoulder, wearing a harness, might have looked wistful if parrots can show that emotion.
