OC Transpo is looking for the owner of a bird found on its property at 1500 St. Laurent Blvd.

Late Wednesday afternoon, OC Transpo said it did not have any more information about how the white bird was found. However, officials are looking for its rightful owner and are asking for anyone with information to call 613-741-4390 or 613-842-3600.

Originally erroneously called a “cockatoo” by OC Transpo, the bird’s photo was soon posted on the Ottawa and Valley Lost Pet Network, where a reader linked OC Transpo’s photo — it’s a cockatiel, by the way, not a cockatoo — to a report of a missing bird named Blue, who escaped from an apartment on Ogilvie Road during a fire alarm on July 31.

One Twitter reader also reporting seeing posters for a missing bird that fits this description in the Greensboro area.

Cockatiels, which are native to Australia, are known to enjoy human company and to form strong bonds with their human owners.
