Lost Parrot Rescued at Dublin Airport
6 Apr
Summary
- A parrot was found by airport police near terminal one on Easter Sunday.
- The bird was safely secured and provided with food, water, and toys.

Dublin Airport authorities are appealing for public assistance in finding the owner of a parrot discovered on Easter Sunday. The bird was located by airport police near terminal one, perched on a rubbish bin. Responding officers successfully coaxed the parrot with food, leading it to perch on their hand before it was safely secured.
The parrot was brought to the airport police station where it was cared for overnight with provisions including fruit, water, and toys, housed in a temporary enclosure. An Garda Síochána, a local pet shop, and an animal sanctuary have been informed.
This incident echoes a similar event in 2019 when a parrot attempted to take off from the main runway and was successfully reunited with its owner. Dublin Airport is actively using social media to locate the current parrot's owner, though inquiries received so far have not matched the bird's identification. Efforts to reunite this unexpected visitor with its home are ongoing.
