Edit: Guys, please. We are aware of a missing bird in Vredenburg named Zazu. However, this is NOT the same bird. Zazu is a very common name for pet parrots. This one was given to us voluntarily by his legal owners, who live in an entirely different province (Gauteng) from where the other Zazu went missing (Western Cape). Please stop accusing us of stealing a bird or adopting out a lost bird. It is not what is happening here. Vereeniging is not Vredenburg.
Zazu the African Grey is available for adoption
