A pet store owner in Concord is asking the community to be on the lookout for two stolen birds, one of them an umbrella cockatoo with a very distinct voice.

The break-in happened Saturday morning. Employees arrived to Feathered Follies and found broken glass and the two birds missing.

One of the birds taken was Tofu, the cockatoo. The other was a 28-year-old African red-belly parrot named Plato. Plato can say "hello" or "hi Plato" but mainly stays quiet.

Tofu is the more talkative one with a distinct voice and also has a bit of an online fanbase. One video of him has 3.4 million views.

The store owner said both birds are loved, and they want them to be returned home safely.

Tofu can also say "hi Tofu," "hello" and "I love you." It can also say "I love Tofu."

There is a reward for the return of the birds or for information that leads to their return.
