A SMALL exotic-looking bird has been spotted flying around Bolton Town Centre.

The bird, with its gorgeous colours, was seen flying on the walls and trees opposite Tiffany's cafe at around 13.40.

A passerby said the bird "looked like it had blood on its head" and hoped that it was "helped to safety."

The Bolton News:

It is likely that the bird belongs to someone and is kept as a pet.

Birds are becoming an increasingly popular pet in the UK and the pet bird population has previously been measured at approximately 1,000,000.
