The second of two parrots with a habit of singing the Match of the Day theme tune has been returned after being stolen in Middlesbrough.

Missy and Snoop Dogg, African Greys that also like to trill along to Laurel and Hardy, were taken between 24 and 28 September.

Missy was found about half a mile away and returned to owner Joanne Mason on Wednesday.

Companion Snoop Dogg is now safely home after being anonymously handed back.

The birds have a repertoire of phrases such as "giz a tickle", "give us a big fat kiss" and "hello fat girl".
