Police need your help in a case about a family’s beloved parrots being stolen.
Niko and Mango were stolen in their cages during a burglary in Browns Bay in the early hours of Friday, 10 July.
Acting Detective Sergeant Beth Bates, North Shore Tactical Crime Unit, says the two Sun Conure parrots were taken along with several tools.
Niko is a 2.5-year-old male and Mango is an 8-month-old female. Mango’s wings have been clipped, and she is unable to fly.
“Niko and Mango are this family’s pets, and they are very distressed that they’ve been taken. We are appealing to whoever might know where they are to give them back, or tell us where we might find them,” acting Detective Sergeant Bates says.
Police are seeking CCTV footage from the Browns Bay area.
The team are particularly interested in any footage around Beach Road and Bayside Drive, recorded between 1.30am and 2.30am on 10 July.
Police ask you to get in contact if you have not already done so, acting Detective Sergeant Bates says.
You can update Police online or call 105 using the reference number 260710/5944.

I’m sure the two won’t be going over to KFC anytime soon….
Once again, the cops want the public to do their job for them…

Once found, I trust police will take their statements.
A parrot walks into a bar, slaps a small fish on top of the barstool, then stands on the fish and orders a drink. “What’s with the fish?” the bartender asks. The parrot replies, “This is my perch.”
Okay, no one likes burglars. Taking property is one thing but stealing someone’s pets, invoking a lot of emotional upset, is, by any definition, a genuinely lousy shitty thing to do. Parrots form emotional attachments, so they suffer too. Hope these creatures get caught and the birds returned.
My aunt’s parrot can say over 30 phrases, but each one is vulgar and offensive.
I say aunty is lying.
It’s not a parrot.
It’s a friggin mockingbird.
There are a lot of parrots in the beehive parroting their global masters.
