It all happened at around 10 a.m. on Friday. Aimar had gone to work and left her son with her brother when, the family believes, the child may have accidentally opened the cage door. "We think she escaped through the gap in a window where a tube from the air-conditioning unit comes out," she explains. The disappearance took place near number 37 on Calle José Oto.
"SHE MUST BE VERY SCARED"
It is the first time Rosita, who also responds to the name "Rosi," has escaped. "I am usually with her when the window is open and she never leaves, but today, because I wasn't there, she must have become scared," her owner says. The family has been searching for her around the neighborhood and is asking La Jota residents to pay particular attention in case they see her in trees, on balconies or anywhere else where she may have taken shelter.
Aimar also explains what to do if someone manages to locate her. "If you stretch out your arm, pat it and call her name, she'll come to you," she says. Rosita can talk, and the words she has learned include "hello" and "pretty," as well as a song her owner taught her. Hearing her speak or make any of these sounds could also help identify her.
ROSITA IS NAMED AFTER HER OWNER'S GRANDMOTHER
The search also has a deeply sentimental significance for Aimar. Her grandmother died just over a year ago and had wanted to have a parrot like this. "Her last wish was to have this bird because she loved them, but in the end she couldn't have one, which is why I have her," she says. Her grandmother's name was Rosita, and the animal was named after her.
The family is offering a reward and asks anyone who sees Rosita or believes they have found her to call 672 133 201 or 615 147 990 as soon as possible. "If anyone can help us, I would be incredibly grateful," Aimar insists, hoping that sharing the search will help them find Rosita as soon as possible.
