A woman was shocked when a random lost BUDGIE flew in through her fourth-floor flat window. Natalie Brereton, 34, was watching the news on her couch when she heard a chirping from her bedroom. She discovered a rogue budgie had flown through her open window, into her bedroom and was happily chirping away on her windowsill. After an hour and a half of attempts to catch the flying visitor, she managed to capture the bird in a cardboard box and took it to a local vet. Natalie appealed to friends on social media to help track down the owner and Sparky the budgie was reunited with its family after just a few hours of escaping, on Sunday (21). The plucky bird had flown around two miles to reach her home. Digital marketer Natalie, from Bedminster, Bristol, said: "It was a funny, mental, can’t-believe-this-is-happening nightmare! "We live on the fourth floor of a high building, we couldn’t believe it had got in! "We’re both alright with birds for the most part but this was new levels of stress. "We have high ceilings so he kept flying around and swiping our heads which was equally funny and terrifying. "We also didn’t want to distress him too much by trying to grab him so we got a cardboard box with some air holes in and put some cucumber and water in it with some newspaper. "When he eventually flew into it, we shut the lid and put a tea towel over the box to take it to the vets." With Sparky the budgie safely at Zetland Vet Hospital, Natalie and her Instagram tracked down its owner. Within just a few hours, Rianne Bendall, 36, got in touch to say Sparky belonged to her daughter Maddie, nine, and he had escaped when her younger sister Lelilah, seven, opened a window. Sparky is now back home with his relieved family with mum Rianne thanking Natalie and the vets whilst adding that the naughty budgie is "grounded for a while".
