Parrot Imitates Fire Alarm, Saves Family
I just love to hear stories of pets saving people! I am glad this man and his son were able to escape on time.

| MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) - A noisy parrot that likes to imitate sounds helped save a man and his son from a house fire by mocking a smoke alarm, the bird's owner says. Shannon Conwell, 33, said he and his 9-year-old son fell asleep on the couch while watching a movie. They awoke about 3 a.m. Friday to find their home on fire after hearing the family's Amazon parrot, Peanut, imitating a fire alarm. "He was really screaming his head off," Conwell said. The smoke alarm had activated, but it was the bird's call that caught Conwell's attention. "I grabbed my son and my bird, and got out of the house," he said. The fire destroyed the home's dining room, kitchen and bedroom, Muncie fire officials said. It remains under investigation. |

| A homeowner shot to death an intruder Tuesday after his parrot alerted him that someone was on the property, police said. Dennis Baker, who keeps several pet birds, said his Mexican Redheaded parrot named Salvador says "Hello" when he sees someone. As someone passed by a window at his home, Salvador began saying "Hello, Hello," awaking Baker from a sound sleep. Lewis said the home, also used as a locksmith shop, had been burglarized four times this month. "They were coming here like they owned the place. I hate what happened, but somebody has to do what's necessary," Baker said in the online edition of The Dallas Morning News. "The fifth time is enough. It's not something you want to do, but you have to do." Police said they would turn the case over to a grand jury. |
My bird says Hello in chinese when someone comes into the apartment. No guns here though, but we do have a nice collection of swords to choose from!
