It is much loved and says phrases including the start of the Monty Python song, 'Always Look on the Bright Side of Life', which it then continues to whistle. It also says the words, 'John' 'Tom' 'Richard' and 'Go careful'.
The bird is worth about £600.
It was taken on between 9am and 3pm on August 24.
PC Dave Eldridge said: "The welfare of the bird is of immediate concern and we would urge anyone who knows where it is to contact police or arrange for it to be returned to the owner without delay. Anyone who has been offered a parrot for sale should call 101, quoting the crime number."
Anyone with information should contact PC Dave Eldridge at Horncastle and quote crime number, 32120036849.

Gardien Comment: Valuable pets are too often targeted by thieves so it is important that they are adequately protected. Make access to your garden as difficult as possible and use intrusion detectors to warn of unwanted visitors. See the advice and products at www.garden-security.co.uk
