Hi all, Bill here
According to The Age, this morning's large (no, huge!) fire at Lombard's
The Paper People in Flemington resulted in some canaries escaping.
They'll probably be seen for a short time in the area, followed by a
small irruption of hobbies, I'm thinking.
A quote from The Age:
The company's prized mascot, Harry the cockatoo, was saved by
firefighters.
"He was a bit angry, but no, he didn't get a nip in, but he was pretty
keen to," Richmond MFB station officer Mitch Simons told reporters.
"He was quite upset, I can tell you that. He was screaming and carrying
on."
Firefighters also freed an aviary of canaries at the back of the
warehouse.
"There's a lot of happy canaries flying around today," Mr Lombard said.
