Bandits Raid Zoo—Blue and Gold Macaws Stolen.

blugoldmacaw02122009 Arch Road:--- On Monday night, a break in at the St. Maarten Zoo occurred.

Upon opening the zoo Tuesday morning, the zoo staff noticed feathers on the ground and two macaws were missing.

A blue and gold macaw and a green winged macaw were stolen.

These birds are important birds to the animal collection of the Zoo, and Zoo management expressed their deep concern at such an act.

If anyone on the island notices someone trying to sell macaws, please notify the zoo immediately at 543-2030.

Due to this theft, the Zoo will be installing security cameras and will have extra security available during the night.

Unfortunately the green winged bird was found dead in a neighbor's yard. We assume that it was injured in the theft, got away, and then was killed by neighborhood dogs. The uninjured bird was able to return home to the zoo. report abuse vote down vote up
