Stranded potty-mouthed parrot greets firefighters with four-letter tirade

A stranded parrot turned the air blue when it verbally abused a crew of firefighters who had came to rescue it from a roof.

Officers from London Fire Brigade were called to rescue Jessie, a turquoise and yellow Macaw parrot, after she had spent three days stuck on the roof of a house in Edmonton, north London.

The animal had escaped from its home nearby and the RSPCA called in the emergency services on Monday morning, after they and Jessie’s owners were unable to coax her down.

LFB watch manager Chris Swallow, who attended the scene, said: “Jessie had been on the same roof for three days and there were concerns that she may be injured which is why she hadn’t come down.”

The fire crew quickly sent a volunteer up a ladder with a bowl of food and a fluffy white towel to rescue the bird, complete with instructions from the bird’s owners to tell Jess “I love you” to encourage her to come down.

The efforts by Green Watch from Edmonton station to charm the misbehaving bird went smoothly at first, and she responded positively, telling her would-be rescuer that she loved him back.

But, Jessie soon launched a foul-mouthed tirade against the fire crew, telling the fighter fighters to “f*** off”.

“We then discovered that she had a bit of a foul mouth and kept swearing, much to our amusement,” said Mr Swallow.

Jessie and her unnamed owner also speak Turkish and Greek, so the crew also tried “telling her to ‘come’ in both those language” too.

Thankfully, it soon became apparent that Jessie was uninjured as she flew off to another roof and then to a tree before being renunited with her owner.

It seems quite fitting that a Mr Swallow was in charge of the operation.

A waste of time and taxpayers money for a damn bird.

To be fair, this one does seem like it would require something more advanced than coaxing and a towel.

I once had to help with a horse which managed to get a front hoof trapped in a piece of farm machinery, a harrow if memory serves, and the fire brigade was called without any hesitation.

The RSPCA, dedicated souls that they are, wouldn't have been able to help and would probably have taken a lot longer to arrive.

Monkey in a chimney? Start a fire.

That story made me go to wikipedia to remind myself the plot of The Murders in the Rue Morgue.

I'm confused. They say they don't have penises but then say they have 15 members. LOL

Gravdigr · 08-21-2018, 02:46 PM

I think they just walk around proving they don't have ~~peniss penii penneses~~ cocks.

Cuz I don't trust some of 'em.
