Robert Plantic was driving down the Don Valley Parkway at Don Mills Road about a month ago when he nearly ran over two feathery pedestrians who clearly weren't following the rules of the road.

Two small parrots, now dubbed Don and Valley by Plantic, were in the middle of the highway

"I pulled over. I just couldn't let them stay there. They would have got hit by a car," Plantic said in a video uploaded to YouTube.

The green-cheeked parakeet or green-cheeked conure is a small parrot native to the forests of South America.

Plantic took the parakeets to the vet for a check-up. Staff at the Coxwell Animal Clinic told him the birds had been clipped and tagged.

The clinic cared for them for 10 days while they looked for the owners.

"From day one I wanted to adopt them so I kept calling to check if anyone had claimed the birds," Plantic said. "Finally, the clinic called and told me that I could have them because the owners couldn't be found."

Plantic has found a home for the birds at his workplace, Mr. Rooter Plumbing, where he is a technician.

He said the parrots are very affectionate.

If Don and Valley's original owners are still looking for them, they can contact the plumbing office at 416-401-5632.
