Bird lovers have 20 parrots - and regularly take them out and about town
A couple share their lives with 20 parrots - and regularly take them out and about.
David Vickery and wife Gill have spent decades rescuing birds after starting with two cockatiels and two budgerigars over 40 years ago.
Their collection has now expanded and including a range of different shapes and sizes from African Greys, to Macaws, and Cockatoos.
The couple, who are part of the charity Problem Parrots, said more of the birds have been abandoned since the Covid pandemic.
David said the problem was that once parrots have been reared by humans they are unable to return to the wild as they would not survive.
