Boxer Green jumps fences for beloved bird

Champion boxer Danny Green has jumped suburban Perth fences to recover his potty-mouthed lorikeet.

Boxing champ Danny Green has jumped suburban Perth fences and scaled a tree to recover his potty-mouthed lorikeet Bozo.

Earlier he'd taken to social media to ask for help to find the beloved bird, which went missing around Watermans Bay and North Beach on Monday morning.

"Whistles like a trooper. Says f*** you, big boy and an array of other mumbo jumbo," the world champion said on Facebook.

Two hours later, he posted details of "a stressful but epic end to a funny story".

"I found Bozo! Ten metres up a Norfolk palm tree freaking out!"

After losing hope and "getting very odd looks from people in the streets" as he called for the errant parrot, Green heard a faint response from his feathered companion and began jumping fences "chihuahua in my arms, chasing the whistle".

"In n out of backyards, vacant lots n then knock on a few doors to ask to go out back n check," he wrote.

A pool maintenance man held Green's dog while the hunt continued, with the boxer climbing up the side of a house to reach Bozo in the tree.

"He was stoked to be on my shoulder. Thnx heaps to everyone for their help."
