A pet parrot who flew its nest was safely delivered home – by a team of midwives. Escape artist Jobby fled his home in Glasgow through an open window, leaving owner Apsi Witana distraught. But after a social media appeal took flight, Jobby was found five miles away at Queen Elizabeth Hospital’s maternity unit. “People in the waiting area said they’d been feeding him crisps. After 20 minutes or so, he hopped into his cage. It’s so nice to have him back.”

When Rachel Reid’s workplace began an active-travel challenge, she dived in –literally. While many cycled or walked at least part of their journey to work, she took to the River Lagan to paddleboard the five miles into Belfast. “For me mentally, it’s just a lovely way to spend a couple of hours in the morning,” she said. “I feel like I’m on holiday and then suddenly I’m in work.”
