"It has a silver ring on its leg.
"I called the RSPCA but they said they can’t come because it’s ‘too dangerous’ and they told me to ‘just leave it’.
"Like I could just leave an animal to die? ‘Health and Safety’ means they can’t come rescue someone’s pet ?? It’s not an alligator. Thankfully I have a very kind family who have come over to help me.
"Please contact me if you can help me reunite this beautiful bird with its owner!"
