London: Firefighter insulted by a parrot

Tuesday in Edmonton, north of London. Jessie, a yellow and blue parrot, had been perched on a roof for three days. Her owner and the animal welfare charity were unable to get her down. They therefore called in the London Fire Brigade. A firefighter climbed up a telescopic ladder to retrieve the bird, but it wasn’t particularly cooperative, as it started shouting “F*** off” several times before flying off to another roof, where it was eventually captured unharmed.

Jessie the parrot is now back home safe and sound with her owner, and she had this to say to the firefighters who came to help her in #Edmonton https://t.co/Th2nlVCq7I pic.twitter.com/3ABkzH2nHY
