A cheeky parrot known for saying "what ya saying bruv" and whistling a song that mocks Adolf Hitler has gone missing.
African gray parrot Coco went missing from his home in Lowestoft, Suffolk, at around 9 p.m. May 9 after being spooked by a loud bang.
Coco, 7, can whistle the British wartime song, "The River Kwai March" — or "Hitler has only got one ball."
His devastated family members are now appealing for help to find the bird, who has potentially been sighted 15 miles away in the market town of Bungay.

By TalkerHis owner Ami, who did not want her last name shared, said: "He might be saying 'alright mate,' 'what ya saying bruv,' 'wooh,' or whistling.
"He's probably not being too vocal though if he's nervous as he'll be scared.
"It was a freak incident when he flew out the door — he never normally flies that way.
"I thought he'd stay close to home as he's not a great flyer.
"I've even been targeted by people creating AI pictures of him and telling me I won't get him back until I pay $63 on an Apple card.
"You can't help but worry.
"He doesn't step up, so please notify us if you see him rather than trying to get him yourself."
Coco has a small crack across his beak, with a gray body and a red tail.
