A 10-month-old cockatiel from Lombard experienced quite the adventure Thanksgiving Day after he escaped his owner's home, flew to a nearby hotel and ended up in the care of a bird-loving stranger. Frank Alonso, 24, and his wife, Kim, purchased Tango the cockatiel when he was just 8 weeks old and quickly fell in love with his charismatic personality.

By the time a neighbor helped Frank up to the roof, Tango was already gone. "At that point, we really didn't think we'…
