Posting to social media, the airport shared a snapshot of Lola heading home with her owner after saying goodbye to Airport Police."Lola (Troy) is officially back home," they said. "After being spotted near Terminal 1, cared for by Airport Police and briefly rebranded as “Troy”, she has now been reunited with her owner, Gheorghe, this evening."Dublin Airport said they confirmed that she was going home with the right pet owner by her tag number and her response to hearing her real name. After being named Troy for her short stay, she is "happy enough" for “Troy” to be her middle name from here on out.After finding her owner, Dublin Airport learned a few new things about the now-famous bird. Lola is nearly two years old and has a major soft spot for watermelon and strawberries.She’s definitely not the silent type and will get very vocal if she feels like she isn't getting enough attention, and she is simply delighted that her shift at the airport is finally over."Huge thanks to everyone who helped make this happen, and a special shout out to the Airport Police K9 unit who built Lola a custom cage and kept her well fed (bananas and apples were the favourites on shift)" said Dublin Airport.When asked how Lola came to be in the airport in the first place, Dublin Airport remained coy. "That’s another tale that is not ours to share" they said.Want to see more of the stories you love from Dublin Live?
