A Vallejo man is hoping someone has seen his missing bird. This is not just any bird, but a highly intelligent Macaw named Cecil, independent enough to fly freely through the neighborhood.

Ray Varella says Cecil went missing on Sunday, July 17 from his sister's house in Pittsburg.

Cecil was last seen racing Varella's dog up the street, when he took a large loop around the neighborhood and dropped out of sight. Varella thinks Cecil may have been spooked by a hawk and became disoriented.

While Cecil was sighted several times in the following days, the trail has gone cold since July, 21.

Valera believes somebody has taken Cecil and is worried the parrot will not receive the care it needs.
