A Tacoma woman is frantic after her three-month-old macaw parrot was
swept away in a gust of wind.

Amber Schindler, who breeds and trains the colorful birds, said the
bird, named Arthur, went missing Sunday evening near the intersection
of South 78th and South Wilkeson Streets.

“We were outside with him doing some socialization and a gust of wind
kind of hit him and just took him away,” she said.

The parrot was meant to be a gift for a Seattle family who recently
took in a foster child. Schindler said the family had always wanted a
macaw, but couldn’t afford the $2,000 is would cost to buy their own.
Schindler planned on giving them Arthur once the bird was trained.

She hasn’t told the family that the bird is missing because she
doesn’t want to worry them, but Schindler said time is of the essence
to bring Arthur home.

“If we don’t find him soon he will definitely perish,” she said.

Arthur was last seen flying in the direction of South 80th Street and
will most likely be perched in a tree or hiding under a bush. Schinder
said parrots such as Arthur can fly in a straight line for up to three
miles, so anyone within that perimeter should keep an eye out. If you
find Arthur, call Schindler at (253) 473-7655.
