Police are asking for the public\u2019s help in identifying a pair of thieves who stole a parrot from a cage outside of an East Long Beach home.<\/p>\n

The theft happened shortly before 2:50 a.m. June 5 on Cortner Avenue, just east of Norwalk Boulevard, according to Long Beach police.<\/p>\n

Home surveillance video showed two men walk up to the cage, which was next to the home\u2019s front door, open it and take the Yellow-naped Amazon parrot, police said. The thieves ran off northbound on Cortner Avenue, then entered a black sedan.<\/p>\n

\"\"Long Beach police said the suspected parrot thieves fled in this car.<\/p>\n

Police shared still images from the video, which showed one of the men wearing a blue hoodie, light blue jeans and white shoes. The other man appeared to be wearing a black hoodie, black pants and gray shoes.<\/p>\n

\"\"Long Beach police released these images of the suspected parrot thieves.<\/p>\n

Parrots can sell for thousands of dollars online. KTLA reported<\/a> that the bird\u2019s owner, Randi Winter, is offering a $5,000 reward for his safe return, no questions asked.<\/p>\n

Winter told the news station that he bought the bird from a Redondo Beach pet shop in 1996. He initially kept the bird inside the home, but moved the cage outside after his wife experienced allergic reactions.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information on the thieves or their potential whereabouts was asked to contact LBPD\u2019s burglary detail at 562-570-7351.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police say thieves stole this parrot.
