If you see an African Grey Parrot near Flatbush Avenue in Park Slope over the next few days, don’t just mutter to yourself about the miracle of Mother Nature — call Lora Myers at once!
Myers’s 12-year-old pet — whom she has had since he was a little chick — flew away from her Prospect Place home on Thursday night and has not been seen since. He was last seen heading towards Flatbush Avenue.
“We are frantic,” Myers told us, tearing up. “Anything you can do to help is much appreciated. We’ve had him 12 years. This is my child!”
Myers described Gracie as a “strong flyer” who might not come if called.
“He has a limited vocabulary,” she said. “What he does most often is whistle. He’s almost a composer.”
Gracie the parrot was found! Interesting story but somewhat distorted by reporter on brooklyn paper website (maybe in hard copy edition too). Reporter said she asked the cops to file a missing persons report, but she didn’t — just wanted them to take her name and number in case someone called.
But more interesting story is that Marty Markowitz’s office called the parrot owner (he’s a parrot owner too) and asked her to appear on stage with him but she told his office that she would not do anything to support him because of his stand on Atlantic Yards! Develop Don’t Destroy Brooklyn flies again!
