Pet parrot Chintu goes missing from Pune's Shivane, owner puts up posters and announces reward

A missing pet parrot is the talk of Pune's Shivane area. The parrot, named Chintu, has been missing since its owner put up posters across the city to find it. The posters have now become a topic of conversation among residents.

According to the poster, Chintu went missing on the morning of November 10 from the Rahul Nagar, Shivane (NDA Road) area. It says the bird flew away and did not return. It has been missing since November 10, 2026.

The poster describes Chintu in detail. He is not dark green but light green, a tennis-ball yellowish green. He has a blue metal ring on his right leg, which the poster also describes in English as a "BLUE METAL RING". A photograph of the parrot is printed on the poster so that viewers can recognise him.

The poster carries the words "MISSING PARROT" in large letters. The owner has appealed to anyone who sees Chintu to inform them. The poster also announces a suitable reward for whoever finds the parrot and returns him safely. The amount is not stated; it only says a suitable reward will be given.

The posters have been put up around Shivane and also in the Warje area. The owner has pasted them at several other places in the city as well. As a result, people in Shivane and Warje are talking about Chintu, and the poster is also being discussed among people in Pune.

A bird raised at home becomes like a member of the family, and its owners are distraught at its departure. They are therefore searching for it with posters carrying a photograph, identifying marks and an appeal to get in touch. The blue metal ring on the right leg and the tennis-ball light green colour are the two features that set Chintu apart from other parrots.

The owner hopes that these marks will help trace Chintu and that he will return home.
