Owners of a much-loved parrot with a big sense of humour, and who loves swearing, were left gutted after he vanished from his Falkirk home.
Hugo, a six-year-old African Grey, vanished from the Bainsford area on Tuesday, but has since returned home.
His owner, Craig Pryke, 20, described the bird as a friendly chap with a lot of character, and says he can speak very well – with swear words his favourite.
Locals had reported various sightings of Hugo over the past few days in Larbert and Carronshore.
Just last night, he was spotted watching a game of football at Larbert High School.
Speaking to Falkirk Live, Craig said: "He managed to escape on Tuesday, he has a cage out the back for when the weather is nice.
"He bit my gran and she got a fright, and then he flew away. He is harmless though.
"We have had him since he was just a baby and he is six-years-old now. I can't tell you exactly how many years we have had him though.
"He's a friendly chap and has a big sense of humour for a bird. Hugo can speak very well and say almost anything, including swear words, which are his preference most of the time.
"But yeah, he is very friendly and cheeky."
Craig and his mum say they're delighted to have him back home were he belongs.
