A parrot called Timmy who went missing in Didcot at the weekend has been found at a nearby school yesterday.

The African Grey parrot, who is able to whistle the Colonel Bogey March — the theme tune from the film The Bridge on the River Kwai — was found in the playground of Willowcroft Community School in Mereland Road.

It went missing from a house in Kynaston Road, yesterday.

Owner Ellie McConnell, 31, said: "We haven't had him long, but he was very pleased to see us."
