A Florida woman was arrested after allegedly stealing a $2,400 exotic bird from a pet store.
According to reports, on the morning of September 7, a woman wearing dark sunglasses visited Everything Birds in Oldsmar. An event was being held at the store that day, and as the workers were setting up, one of them spotted the woman standing near an enclosure housing a baby Black Headed Caique. She greeted the potential shopper and went back to work.
Moments later, the employee returned to the area where she spoke to the woman, and when she looked for the bird it was nowhere to be found. The authorities were immediately notified, and deputies from the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office went to the store, located in the Oldsmar Flea Market, to investigate.
