Found! Kidnapped 82-year-old cocky

AN 82-year-old cockatoo stolen from Victoria's Phillip Island has been found in a Sydney backyard.

The sulphur-crested cockatoo, named Robbo, had been a well-loved resident of Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit Visitors Garden for more than 40 years before he was stolen about six weeks ago, Andrew Bowring of the visitor's centre told AAP.

Police said the elderly cocky was found in a cage in the backyard of a Marrickville home during a search on Monday.

"Investigations revealed that the cockatoo was possibly being held at a home in Sydney's inner west," police said in a statement.

"Robbo the cockatoo was located in the rear yard of the property in a large cage during the search."

He was kidnapped from the garden on May 18.

Mr Bowring said Robbo had been missed and the visitor's centre was thrilled to be getting the bird back.

"He's been here for years and years and years," he said.

"He's well known with a lot of the regulars here, including our campers for some of our major events."

Although Robbo was old at 82, sulphur-crested cockatoos are known to live to 120.

The cocky is being checked by an RSPCA vet before being returned to his home.
