Bank Holidays are a time for fun, but some people have different ideas. Chris Hyland’s company iRestored in Church Street was burgled in the early hours of the Spring Bank Holiday Monday with intruders breaking through the rear entrance. As well as extensive damage, much of the company’s stock was stolen, although Chris reassures his customers that all items left with him for repair are safe.
The damage and loss were upsetting, but Chris was devastated to find one of his pet birds who fly free in the back of the shop was missing.
Pepper, the male plum-headed parakeet, had escaped during the robbery whilst Salt his female partner was safe. A message on Facebook alerted Chris to the fact that a pet bird had been found in Frodsham and they were reunited. As an exotic species though, Pepper had been attacked by crows. A local vet provided first response treatment and he was then referred to a specialist vet in Tarporley. Due to his injuries he has had part of one leg amputated, but Chris is hopeful he will make a full recovery.
iRestored have sponsored earlier editions of Frodsham News and the team send Chris their best wishes and “Get well soon” to Pepper.
