Imagine leaving your house for a quick errand run, then returning to find one of your pets, had let another of your pets out of its safe enclosure.  Well this happened in the US as a kangaroo that was kept in an enclosure has been roaming the streets of Louisiana, after it was rescued by its fellow pet, a parrot.

According to upi, the kangaroo, named Baxter, was caught on camera wandering around Zachary on Wednesday and local police said the animal was safely captured and returned to its home Thursday morning.

Baxter's owners run a non-profit called Bird Recovery International, which specializes in returning exotic wild birds to their natural habitat. They said Baxter shares his home with more than a dozen parrots and one of the birds, named Thor, recently learned to open the lock to the kangaroo's enclosure.

Kangaroos are considered exotic animals under Louisiana law and are illegal to be kept as pets. It was unclear if Baxter's owners, who formerly owned a zoo, have an exception for the animal due to their wildlife-based non-profit.

Staying in that happy animal lane, have you ever seen how wild animals reunite with their owners after years of being apart? Some of these reactions will surprise you!
