World Wide Lost and Found

It is with great sadness we announce that John Hayward passed away on October 3rd 2018. John was a highly respected retired Chief Detective Inspector and Wildlife Liaison Officer and has managed the National Theft Register, and our Lost and Found Register in Parrots magazine, for the past 17 years. John has worked with great passion to help re-unite lost parrots with their owners, as well as many other animals, and it is because of his incredible work, that the number of thefts has been kept down and many birds have been reunited with their owners.


Until someone can be found to take over this invaluable work, his family has kindly offered to help as much as possible and anyone with urgent queries should still call the NTR number on 01869 325699 or to email, click here.


Sadly John's wife, Anita, who was a great support to him in his work, passed away earlier this year. So whilst the family are going through such a sad time, it would be appreciated that only urgent calls are made.

    11.01.2011 11073 The burglary in Bournemouth was planned and well executed. All the birds are identifiable and of note is the fact that the Amazons are CITES Annex A and require licences. To trade without ‘papers’ is a serious offence. We appeal for any information and if anyone has them offered, please call us. Rewards exist for their safe recovery and any information leading to the arrest and conviction of the thieves.

Trevor Pitts, 36, and James Collins, 34, travelled from their homes in South Yorkshire using hire vehicles in order to steal the rare birds in 2008. The court heard the pair stole 17 parrots worth up to £130,000 from aviaries at an isolated farm in Friday Bridge overnight on September 13 and 14, 2008.Ten were Red-tailed Amazons worth about £100,000, two were Blue-fronted Amazons, two Vinaceous Amazons and one a Cuban Amazon.The birds are very rare, in the wild and in captivity. All of the birds still need to be found. CAN YOU HELP? There is a possibility that they were moved out of the UK and into Europe.

Theft ISRAEL 24.12.2008 8847 Major Parrot Theft ISRAEL. Stolen on 24.12.2008 from a Zoological Centre at Tel Aviiv, Israel, Palm Cockatoo (Probosciger atterimus), Blue-throated Macaw (Ara gaucogularis), Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao), Cuban Amazon (Amazona leucocephala), Major Mitchell's Cockatoo (Cacatua leadbeater). It was first thought that the stolen birds remained in the Country, but it is now considered that they have been shipped out. These parrots are all in breeding programmes which have consequently been destroyed. They are all positively identifiable and we can check out any suspect bird. We have been asked to assist and therefore request that all specialist breeders in the UK with overseas connections spread the word re this significant theft. Can I further ask for BIAZA to circulate to all members and EAZA, UK Wildlife Crime Unit to CITES Secretariat and Interpol and to CITES Team Heathrow. Defra please inform Enforcement Inspectors and PAW Secretariat. Many thanks. Any information re these items to my office please on 01869 325699 email jh@ntr.supanet.com John Hayward - Co-ordinator- National Theft Register Exotic Animals.
