Named Steve by staff at Hopefield Animal Sanctuary in Brentwood, the parrotlet arrived featherless just over a week ago but has since started growing new baby feathers. A spokesman for the sanctuary said: "When Steve arrived with us the week before last, he completely stole everyone’s hearts.

While Steve remains unable to fly, staff are hopeful that his new feather growth marks the start of a recovery. "We’re keeping everything crossed that, in time, Steve will grow a beautiful new set of feathers."
