CONCORD, Calif. (KGO) -- Eight months after a brazen birdnapping in the East Bay, the last missing bird is finally back home.

"Plato" and "Tofu" were stolen from the Feathered Follies pet store in Concord back in September.

Both birds are estimated to be worth thousands of dollars.

Police say a new lead brought the investigation to Hayward, where they found Plato.
