Family devastated as seagulls kill their pet parrot

A Dundee family have been left “devastated” after their parrot was killed by seagulls.

Oscar, a five-year-old African Grey, was found dead near Longtown Road a few days after he managed to escape from his home by opening his cage.

His owners Christine Yule and Joe Chalmers now want to warn others to keep an eye on their pets.

They were told by witnesses that a flock of seagulls had swooped down to attack their pet.

“I didn’t really mind seagulls, but now I hate the sight of them, although I know they can’t help their instincts,” said Christine.
