As the suspect stands behind a pole, the store says he shoved the baby bird into his pants or side bag.
More VideosDELRAN, New Jersey --Police say the men stole the bird, which is worth about $1,000, around 5:30 p.m. Saturday.
"When we were doing our hand-feedings in the evening we noticed that one of our sold pineapple conures was missing," said store manager Chris Luberski. Even more disturbing: the bird, only a few months old, was still being hand-fed special formula three times a day.Surveillance video shows a busy shop, and you can see two men near the nursery window where several baby parrots are kept."The bird was taken behind the pole over there and that's when he put it in his pocket," said Luberski.Staff say the cages are kept closed, but not locked. Posted signs urge customers to ask for help when handling a bird.
The pineapple green cheek conure that was stolen is about 10" long from head to tail with bright colors -- orange, yellow and green."They are extremely upset. Rightfully so," said Luberski. "They came in multiple times to bond with that bird.""That's super sad. It was somebody's family pet and they made a connection in the store first, and it's really sad," said Jill Hebner of Philadelphia.
