A much-loved Amazon parrot that went missing from Chessington Zoo during a training session earlier this month has been returned.

Larry is not a confident bird, so keepers did not think he would go very far and issued an appeal for his return.

Sure enough, a keeper spotted his bright green feathers a few days later, in a tree on site.

A spokesman for the zoo said he seemed happy to be back with his feathered friend Curly.
