These lovebirds belong together.
A local celebrity parrot named Lindo reunited with his longtime feathery love after being brazenly birdnapped last week from a Park Slope laundromat.
An unidentified thief nabbed Lindo on July 1 from a cage outside the Fourth Avenue washateria, where he shared a cage with Linda, his partner and fellow Amazon parrot, said owner Anbioris Garcia.
But four days later a mysterious stranger in his 70s or 80s — who is much older than the alleged theif — returned Lindo to the laundromat.
“He came and he said he didn’t want any pictures or to answer questions. He just wanted to give back the bird,” Garcia said. “So I said, ‘OK, no problem.’”
The temporary avian abduction had left Linda, who was wing-by-wing with Lindo for more than two decades, and the surrounding neighborhood positively bird-reft.
Lindo and Linda have become beloved neighborhood fixtures, as for decades they have greeted passersby and laundromat customers from their cage just outside the business.
At first, the bird snatcher — spotted on surveillance video wearing a bright orange hat and green jacket that oddly mimic the parrots’ colors — appeared to be one of Lindo’s and Linda’s many fans flocking up for a visit.
The orange-hatted young man walked up around 5:30 p.m. to the laundromat, Garcia said.
“He tried to take Linda first, but Linda bit him and he left,” Garcia said.
But even after the would-be thief had his cage rattled by Linda, he still returned for another bite.
“He came back and took Lindo,” Garcia told The Post.
The birdjacking came to end when the stranger returned Lindo on July 5, without providing any real answers.
A sign on the laundromat’s door chirped the good news: “Lindo’s back home! Come say hello.”
The parrot pair’s cage is now inside the laundromat, instead of outside where they’ve greeted passersby and customers for decades.
When Garcia was asked if he wanted police to catch the abductor, he adopted a “bird in hand” approach.
“No, no, it’s too many problems,” he said.
“We have him back,” he said about Lindo.
