A Pet store owner has been overwhelmed by the theft of a rare bird for the second time in five years.

Thieves smashed the face window of the Living Jungle Pet Warehouse in Dandenong and stole Ally, a seven-year-old macaw, on Friday night.
Store owner Geoff Andrew said the foreign South American bird, value more than $12,000, lived at the store.

"Because she's a female at breeding age she would be in high demand," he said.

Mr. Andrew said another macaw was stolen from his Fawkner store in 2001.

"That one was returned, so hopefully we would get this one back too."
