Police are searching for a man accused of taking an African grey parrot worth nearly $7,000 from Birds by Joe 2 in Saddle Brook.

Surveillance footage posted to social shows a man wearing a dark Nike hoodie grabbing the bird in its cage and running out.

Saddle Brook police say through several tips and interviews, the parrot was found in Paterson and brought back to the exotic bird shop.

The owner says she is ecstatic and that the bird appears healthy. She wants to thank everyone that shared her Instagram post.

Police say they have a warrant out for Onyx Calderon, who they say stole the parrot. They ask anyone with information to call them.
