A 30-year-old skateboarding green Guatemalan parrot called Gordo has been stolen according to reports. The owner who has no children has called for the bird's return, stating that he is devastated and that the parrot is like a kid to him.
A birdnapper snatched Gordo the skateboarding parrot. The 30-year-old green Guatemalan parrot, a popular attraction for a decade in the San Gabriel Valley community of Baldwin Park, was taken from his front porch cage Wednesday morning."
