Lost Lincoln pet’s three-day adventure ends with a furry hero, joyful reunion
LINCOLN — The lives of Hussain and Hawraa Kaibla became much quieter and much sadder on Sept. 21, when their pet parrot flew off into the night. Mish Mish was reunited with his owners on Sept. 24 after being missing for three days. A dog spotted the missing bird on a fence.
