Lucky Bird Found in Storm Drain a Mile From Home After Passing Driver Happens to Spot it Hopping in
A pet budgie named Luna escaped during a storm by flying out of an open kitchen window but was later found in a nearby storm drain, about a mile from home. The bird's owner Cimberley Frost was relieved to be reunited with her lost pet. Luna was lucky to have been spotted hopping around the storm drain.
Why it's good news: It shows that pets can sometimes find their way back home even when they get lost in unexpected situations.
