A well-loved creature from Keighley's past will squawk again this month -- oh yes he will!
Victor the parrot is being resurrected for a guest role in Keighley Amateurs' pantomime Dick Whittington, at Victoria Hall.
The real Victor used to greet visitors at the side entrance to the hall in the 1950s when it housed Keighley Museum.
Keighley Amateurs moved to the hall in 1973, more than a decade after the museum collection moved to Cliffe Castle.
The new Victor, made by local magician Peter Greenwood, will perform during the January 24-31 family show.
He will share the stage with an octopus called Ollie -- named after comedian Oliver Hardy -- during the nine performances.
Tickets for Dick Whittington are on sale at Reids bookshop in Cavendish Street or by phoning 01535 652547.
