An ecstatic pet owner appeared on This Morning today to confirm that her African Grey parrot Chanel has made its way back home again.
Sandra Hannah, from Netherton, appeared on the show yesterday in floods of tears appealing for people to get in touch if they spotted her missing bird who had gone missing again.
The video she recorded when she repeatedly called for her missing parrot went viral on social media last year - but Sandra was less optimistic of finding the bird this time around after she had been missing for three days.

But Sandra made a surprise appearance on the ITV show today to confirm that Chanel had been found a mile away from the house by her neighbour Laura.
The neighbour spotted Chanel in their garden and followed Sandra's advice by shouting her name to get her to come into the house.
And when Sandra's daughter phoned to check if it was really Chanel, the parrot gave the family who rescued her a fright.
Sandra said: "My daughter FaceTimed her while she was there and when my daughter shouted 'Chanel' she flew to the camera, they threw the phone and locked themselves outside in the garden."
Sandra explained how she was asleep when Chanel was rescued after spending the past three days worrying.
She said: "My bedroom door came bursting open, they turned the lights on and Chanel was on my daughter's arms.
"She flew to me and I snuggled her."
Sandra said she's "over the moon" the parrot has been returned and confirmed that this will be the last time that the African Grey will be able to escape as she is now going to get her wings clipped.
She said: "It's for her safety and my health."
