DAVENTRY (Northamptonshire): Firefighters are known for being selfless, brave people who save lives almost daily. So when they get alerted to a potential house fire, they make it their priority to get there as quickly as possible. But when one crew got to the scene of a suspected fire recently, they were stunned to find a parrot doing a very good impression of a smoke alarm.
Steve Dockerty, 63, was left baffled when fire crews banged on his door investigating the source of a ‘blaze’ at his property at around 3.45pm. But it soon became apparent the cause of the emergency call was his pet parrot Jazz.
The 17-year-old bird had sparked panic with his perfect impression of the smoke alarm at Steve’s property on Windsor Close, here.
Staff at the alarm company had called the homeowner after the smoke alarm was triggered for no apparent reason. Steve, a retired steel erector, adopted Jazz 12 months ago in order to give his other parrot Kiki, 16, some company and said he was ‘amazing at doing impressions.’- Metro.co.uk
