Wolverhampton Police Left Flapping After Unusual ‘Prisoner’ Lands in Station Car Park
Feathered Fugitive Found in Police Car Park
Tuesday morning saw Wolverhampton officers facing an unexpected case – not a crook, but a colourful bird parked in a force car park on Bilston Street. Concerned it might be someone’s missing pet, the officers launched a local appeal, hoping to reunite the feathered visitor with its owner.
Twitter Appeal: “#OneInCustody” Goes Viral
The force wasted no time spreading the word on Twitter, using the cheeky hashtag #OneInCustody. They reassured the public: “We’re taking good care of him after consulting with the RSPCA.” But little else is known about the bird, suspected to be a lovebird, bringing a splash of colour to the city.
Questions Fly Over Bird’s Choice of Hideout
Despite its shiny green feathers, officers pondered if it might be a “bluebird” — thanks to its perching preferences. One mystery remains, though: why did it choose a police car for its pit stop? Was it an escapee fleeing “bars,” or simply a tired traveller ready to surrender?
Either way, if this cheeky chap’s caught “in the Trill with a hand,” the penalty might just be spending time “doing some bird”!
