Two parrots have been stolen in a burglary on Teesside.

The African Greys were taken after a break in on Bransdale Road in Berwick Hills in Middlesbrough, and would be easily identifiable due to some of the phrases they’ve learned parrot fashion.

The parrots - who go by the names Missy and Snoop Dogg - are known to chirp phrases such as “giz a tickle”, “give us a big fat kiss” and “hello fat girl”.

They also like to sing along to the Match of the Day theme tune and Laurel and Hardy.

Cleveland Police believe that the burglary occurred between September 24 and 28.

Anyone with information should contact PC Hampson on the non emergency number 101.
