My friend is on the rescue squad. Sunday they got a most unusual call … there was a parrot loose in a neighborhood and because of the cold weather, concerned residents wanted to see it rescued.
The police showed up on the scene first. Then the fire fighters. Finally my friend and the mayor’s husband (who is also a firefighter) ventured out into the cold temperatures. Using a blanket and thick gloves, the parrot was caught.
With no microchip in place and no identification tags on the bird, my friend took the bird home. Through word of mouth, Petey was finally identified as a habitual runaway. His Mom said she had already planned on re-homing him in the spring because he also bullied the other birds.
Ironically, my friend had been looking for a bird – and he has no other birds. Petey has found a home!
