'Injured parrot' in Aberdeen was actually a Christmas hat



A woman was left "mortified" after calling in the Scottish SPCA to rescue an injured parrot that turned out to be a Christmas hat.

The charity was called to the scene on Great Western Road in Aberdeen after what a driver believed to be a parrot was seen in the middle of the road.

However, when they got there they discovered it was a woolly hat.

Animal rescue officer Karen Hogg said: "It's fair to say the lady who called was mortified when I called her back."

She said: "When she was on her way home from the shops, she thought she saw an injured bird on the road.
