Help Find Morty the Rooster!

CLEVELAND - UPDATE: 6-13-11
There's been another reported sighting of Morty the missing mascot over the weekend.
This time, a caller to the Glass Bubble Project art studio said a black and red rooster had been seen in the grass along I-480 near the State Road exit on the Cleveland--Parma border..
Morty's owners called NewsChannel5 to say they went to the interchange, searched the high grass and walked the fence lines both morning and evening -- but did not find Morty.
NewsChannel5 also checked the area without any success. However, there appeared to be plenty of places a chicken might shelter as the highway there is bordered by numerous homes, businesses, railroad tracks and pockets of heavy brush.
The most recent Morty report comes several days after a Brooklyn woman said she saw a small black cock in the Saint Theodosius cemetery near the corner of Biddulph and Ridge Roads in Brooklyn.
That intersection is no more than a mile north of I-480. The State Road interchange is one exit east of the Ridge Road and I-480 junction. It is conceivable that a rooster could walk those distances -- but would be difficult considering the traffic congestion in the area.
Still, Morty's owners and friends are asking everyone to pay special attention along the I-480 corridor in Brooklyn, Parma, Cleveland and Brooklyn Heights -- and contact the Glass Bubble Project studio if they do see Morty the mascot.
