Missing macaws from London Zoo found safe in Cambridgeshire

A ZSL spokesperson said: “Lily and Margot are both in good condition and their usual loud, chirpy selves, although a little tired from their long flight from London to Cambridgeshire.”

The birds have been taken into quarantine in the zoo’s hospital, which is a standard process for all animals brought into London Zoo.

They were receiving lots of attention and food from vets and zookeepers, ZSL said.

After this period, they will rejoin their parents, Popeye and Ollie.

“Our thanks go to those across the country whose assistance proved vital in the safe return of Lily and Margot to London Zoo,” the spokesperson said.
