As large black crows squawk and dive bomb you and your
dog,
a scarlet red macaw may stand out among the newly green
foliage.
A woman in the Lake Hills neighborhood of Bellevue lost
her
fully-flighted bird on Saturday when he was spooked by
kids
on dirt bikes.
It was windy that day, which Kathryn Taylor, Boomer the
bird’s owner, called a “recipe for disaster.”
Boomer responds to his name, and the nickname “Boo,” and
his
squawk is much louder than a crow’s.
Taylor says that Boomer has lived in captivity for his
entire life, and likely won’t be able to survive on his
own
out in the wild. The exotic animal may only have 48 hours
left if he doesn’t get some food soon.
“I really need someone to tell me he’s in this tree on
this
corner right now and then I can get there and get to him.”
Taylor is offering a $500 reward for Boomer’s safe return.
