Missing Cockatiel in Raritan: Family Seeks Community’s Help

A Raritan family is asking the community for help after their beloved cockatiel, Paco, went missing on Sunday around 12 PM near 25 1st Ave. 

Paco is a pearl pied cockatiel, a small, friendly bird with distinctive markings, and he is deeply cherished by his family.

According to owner Liz Quintana, Paco is their “happiness,” and his sudden disappearance has left them devastated. They’re hoping neighbors will keep an eye out in yards, trees, porches, and nearby streets, as cockatiels can travel but often stay within a close radius.

If you spot Paco or have any information, please contact Liz Quintana at lizmquintana83(at)gmail(dot)com.
