And finally… ruffled feathers

Police responding to reports of a woman screaming for help were relieved to find the screams were coming from a parrot.

A woman called police after hearing screams of “help, help, let me out!” from inside her neighbour’s house.

When officers in the Florida city of Lake Worth Beach arrived, the man living there brought out 40-year-old parrot Rambo to greet them.

He also introduced the parrot to his neighbour, Newsweek reports.

The man added: “Sometimes Rambo yells ‘help, help, let me out’. Something I taught him when I was a kid and Rambo lived in a cage.”
