The blue-throated macaws, Lily and Margot, were found 60 miles away after escaping from London Zoo, highlighting the challenges of safeguarding critically endangered species.
After their escape, zookeepers were alerted by a family in Cambridgeshire who spotted the parrots in nearby trees. This act of vigilance showcases the importance of community in wildlife conservation.
The zookeeper expressed relief upon confirming the birds' identities and said, 'She looked really good having survived in the wild for nearly a week,' reflecting their remarkable resilience.
Lily and Margot's story emphasizes the urgent need for conservation efforts, given there are only about 400 blue-throated macaws left in the wild.
