Mickey the cockatoo rescued after four weeks ‘living on brioche’ in Sydney supermarket – video

A sulphur-crested cockatoo named Mickey, who has been spending the last four weeks in a Sydney supermarket, has finally been captured by wildlife services and is expected to be released soon. On Tuesday morning, Ravi Wasan, the director of the Feathered Friends bird rescue, brought another cockatoo named Old Lady Doris into the supermarket to comfort Mickey, which ultimately allowed for his successful capture. Wasan noted that Mickey appeared to be “physically fine” and wasn’t hungry, as he had been feasting on the supermarket’s offerings, which included brioche. The New South Wales environment minister confirmed on Tuesday evening that Mickey had been safely rescued after spending an unusually long time at the Macarthur Square shopping center.
