Walthamstow

While walking around my patch about two months ago i found a african grey parrot which i saved from about 30 carrion crows which were attacking it.I  just photographed  the bird when i found it and then give it to a birder who was working for thames water to take it to hospital, thinking no more of it. Then i tweeted it out later just for a laugh.Now i get this message today saying:(Always worth a google-I've got a 1000 pounds reward for my parrot lost from walthamstow ?).Who's sick as a parrot now?.
