A budgie has been found abandoned in the toilets of a Glasgow bookmaker.

The bird was found in a pet carrier in the toilets of the William Hill shop on Maryhill Road on Monday.

The budgie is now being cared for at the charity's Glasgow Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centre where it has been named Will by staff.

Centre Assistant Manager Anna O'Donnell said, "We're not sure if someone left Will in the toilet by accident or on purpose as it's a very strange place to find a bird. He is in good health and is a friendly boy.

"If someone has left him behind by mistake we'd like to reunite him with his owner."

The Scottish SPCA was called in to help after the find. It is asking that anyone who recognises or has information about the budgie should contact them.

Abandoning an animal is an offence and anyone found guilty of doing so can expect to be banned from keeping animals for a fixed period or life.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Scottish SPCA animal helpline on 03000 999 999.
