Congleton parrot heads up campaign

18 Oct 2026

A parrot from Congleton has become the face of a international campaign.

Dr Paul O'Donoghue, from Channel 5's Elephant Hospital, has helped launch an initiative to ban the private ownership of exotic birds in the UK and with it, put an end to trafficking.

The face of the campaign is Coco, an African grey who was rescued by Congleton couple Noemi and Tony Keddle after spending 20 years living alone in a cage.
