FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. — A rare bird was returned to his owner after going on an adventure with a Fairfax County officer.
Sol, a 17-year-old sulfur-crested cockatoo, was left by mistake in a tree Friday while his owner Edgar Vidaurre was at a soccer game, WUSA9 reported.
Officer Mike Thompson responded to a call of an animal in a tree, found Sol and took him under his wing.
Thompson told WUSA9 that Sol received a ride in the patrol car, after he bit the officer, and was then released to animal control. On Saturday, Sol and Vidaurre, a magician, were reunited.
“I appreciate what you did,” Viduarre told Thompson. “Sorry if he bit you.”
“Not a problem. Wasn’t that bad,” Thompson responded.
