Workers at Omar's Exotic Birds in Lake Forest say a man walked into the shop Saturday morning and stole the African grey parrot that goes by the name "Baby."

Video shows the man holding the four-month-old bird before walking out with it and taking off in his car.
The shop says the bird is worth $7,500 and it requires proper feeding three times a day. They say the bird isn't old enough to eat seeds.
"Maybe if someone knows someone who just got a bird or who is trying to sell a bird very inexpensively...," said store manager Cinder Strahl. "It can live up to 60 years. It's one of the brightest birds, it's the most intelligent of birds."
