Escaped Critically Endangered Macaws Safely Returned to London Zoo

After a six-day adventure, blue-throated macaws Lily and Margot were found 60 miles away in Cambridgeshire and are now in quarantine before reuniting with their family.

Lily and Margot, two critically endangered blue-throated macaws, escaped from London Zoo on October 21 during a routine flight.
The parrots were found 60 miles away in Cambridgeshire after several sightings and tips from local residents led zookeepers to their location.
The birds were coaxed down from a tree by zookeepers in Brampton and were rewarded with their favorite treats, including pumpkin seeds and walnuts.
Both macaws are reported to be in good health but are currently in quarantine at the zoo's hospital, a standard procedure for returning animals.
Once the quarantine period is complete, Lily and Margot will be reunited with their parents, Popeye and Ollie, who are also housed at London Zoo.
