A bird that was trapped in an airport for three months delivered an emotional three-word phrase when reunited with its owner.<\/p>\n
Cockatoo Charlie was originally left behind in Pennsylvania when its owner Jess Adlard moved to the UK in November last year.<\/p>\n
The bird had been living with Adlard since December 2019 and was expected to arrive in Britain nine months after her start date.<\/p>\n
However, the bird was held in customs at Heathrow Airport, London, in September instead.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After months of wrangling with the authorities, Charlie was eventually given the all-clear to join Adlard and her husband Joe, with the bird delivering an emotional phrase when the family was reunited.<\/p>\n
Speaking to SWNS after the reunion, Adlard said: “I feel relief and joy \u2026 I feel so complete.”<\/p>\n
She continued: “He has coped brilliantly. I didn\u2019t expect to be hearing \u2018I love you\u2019 for a month or two at least.<\/p>\n
“Charlie is a tough little guy. He is settling in great and has exceeded every expectation.”<\/p>\n
Don’t miss… <\/strong> <\/p>\n Adlard, a 33-year-old ex-pharmacy technician, described how Charlie was originally held up after the authorities said “the original export permit was missing” – despite it being with the bird when he left the US.<\/p>\n In order to get customs clearance, the couple had already spent around \u00a35,000 ($6,000).<\/p>\n According to The New York Post, the Home Office – the department responsible for immigration and security – said wildlife coming into the country was subject to “strict domestic and international law”.<\/p>\n In a statement, the agency said: “Where required documentation isn\u2019t presented, Border Force can seize pets.”<\/p>\n
