Wolverhampton Police Find Feathered Fugitive in Car Park

On Tuesday morning, Wolverhampton officers faced an unusual custody case—not a criminal, but a mysterious bird caught in their force car park.

Twitter Appeal for Feathered Owner

Thinking the colourful visitor might be someone’s pet, police launched a Twitter appeal using the hashtag #oneincustody. They assured followers, “We are taking good care of him after speaking with an RSPCA officials and getting some advice.”

The Mystery Bird: Pet or Prisoner?

Details are slim on how this possible lovebird ended up brightening up the cop cars, or why it chose a police car park for its pit stop. Despite its vibrant colour, the bird may be a bluebird, noted for its love of perching.

Speculation is rife—did this feathered fugitive escape captivity and voluntarily surrender to the law? If so, what was its crime? Perhaps caught “red-handed” in a tricky situation, facing a sentence best described as “doing some bird.”

Police Seek Owner as Bird’s Fate Hangs in the Balance

The force is now on the lookout for the bird’s owner. Until then, the little flyer remains under police watch—strictly no jailbreaks.
