FELTWELL: Barn owl stolen from back garden

A barn owl has been stolen from an aviary in Feltwell, Kings Lynn.
Thieves raided the back garden of a home in Hereward Way, Feltwell, on Wednesday, April 17.
The light brown female barn owl was wearing a leather foot brace with brass eyelets at the time of the theft, which happened between 1.15am and 6.30am.
Thieves also took traps, cages and pest control equipment.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on the 101 number.

Gardien Comment:  Sadly, valuable birds are often targeted by organized thieves. It is reasonably cheap to install a very effective alarm system to guard against intruders - see http://www.garden-security.co.uk/garden-alarm.aspx. Buy an extra receiver for £20.00 and set the system so you hear a polite chime in the house but sound a loud alarm by the aviary
