WHO'S a pretty boy, then?

Indian ring-necked parakeet Bob, who is being cared for by staff at the RSPCA centre at Altham, loves looking at himself in his mirror -- and tucking into his food.

Bob, light blue with a red beak, was taken in as a stray a month ago, but surprisingly his owner has not claimed him. Contact the RSPCA on 01254 231118.

Two terrified sister kittens who had been locked in a cupboard have been rehomed together after last week's appeal. But Maureen Savage, of Moggies in Darwen, has many more who need homes (telephone 01254 708171 between 4.30-10pm).
