African Grey Congo - Gus - Stolen 8/19/2008 - Houston TX

Gus, my African Gray was stolen from Golf Drive in Garden Oaks division of Houston, TX on 8/19/2008. He is a large bird over 800grams. He was stolen with other items in a home breakin. He was stuffed into a pillow case during the abduction. He will imitate a phone conversation by making the sounds on the phone and saying, "....This is Paul Foster...". He will also say "It's OK" and calls the names of my dogs; Mary, Rusty, Moscow, Jake or Maggie. He does not talk when prompted only when he feels safe and not directly watched.

He is implanted with an AVIDchip; Chip ID#001-634-312 in his breast.

I am offering a reward of $2000 for his return or information leading to his return. I can be contacted at 713-291-4164 or email HarrietLan@AOL.com.

You poor dear!

But if I might ask... how do you know he was stuffed in a pillowcase? You were not THERE when it happened... were you? If so... I am certainly happy you are ok!

I am so sorry about your bird. I hope and pray for Gus' safe return. Hopefully that micro-chipping will come in handy for his defense. Keep an eye on Craigs List in your area (surrounding areas). Some people are just that damn stupid. I would also put the local vets and animal control on alert as well. My thoughts and prayers are with you, your family and certainly Gus.

There are no updates. I have checked flea markets, internet sites, alerted animal shelters, vets and pet stores.....nothing.

PS I knew he was stuffed in a pillow case, because it was missing off my couch. There could have been but one purpose for its absence.
