Exotic bird finally released from airport after it was held for 3 months due to paperwork issue
Fox News
A bird owner is relieved to have her pet home after he was held in customs at Heathrow Airport in London, England, for several months due to paperwork issues.
Charlie, whom Adlard acquired in Dec. 2019, was supposed to arrive in the U.K. nine months later — but the bird was held at customs at Heathrow Airport in London in September of this year. Brittany Kasko is a lifestyle production assistant with Fox News Digital.
The 33-year-old former pharmacy technician and her husband, Joe, told British news service SWNS that they were shocked to hear that the bird was missing an export permit upon its arrival in England.
