A search to find a missing pet bird that got loose during a camping trip over the weekend in suburban Palos Hills came to an end Tuesday thanks to a local rescue group.

Volunteers with the local rescue group got a tip of a sighting of the bird Tuesday afternoon and jumped into action to bring it home.

“It’s excitement you know, joy, happiness that finally he was found and brought to the people here to save him for us, instead of him being out in the wild and scared,” said Jonathan Medina, the macaw's owner.

Medina told NBC Chicago he’s filled with gratitude after being reunited with his soon to be nine-year-old macaw named Baby.

“It’s just indescribable once you hear that they actually not just saw him, but actually have him on their hands,” he said.
