A pet barn owl has gone missing from a family of bird lovers.
Six-month-old Belle, a hand-fed family pet, flew away from its owners in Stanford in the Vale, on Sunday, September 7.
Lisa and Neil Townsend and their two children said they searched day and night to find the much-loved bird and are worried for its safety.
Belle is white underneath with brown wings and black speckles. She is tagged on her leg and responds to her name.
Anyone with any information is asked to call Mrs Townsend on 07917 217229.
