WILD ANIMAL Magazine, Spring
Parrot Alarm!
We often say that a dog is a
man’s best friend, but maybe
a parrot is even better?
In the case of Nina Wilson,
it was her pet parrot,
Greengage, who saved her
life, while her dog, Brutus,
slept at her feet.
Nina’s parrot, Greengage,
is well known for his ability
to imitate different sounds. ‘If you walk past Nina’s
house, don’t be surprised to hear a chicken or a
hippo’, says a neighbour, Sally Biggs. Greengage
loves watching nature programmes and then
practising the different sounds.
His ability turned out to be very useful when on the
night of May 13th a fire broke out in Nina’s kitchen.
Nina fell asleep in the living room while watching
television, and didn’t realise there was a fire. Brutus
was asleep too. Luckily, the sound that Greengage
decided on that night was that of a fire alarm. By the
time his owner woke up, the fire was already in the
living room.
Fortunately, Nina and Brutus got out in time. And
Greengage? Because Nina couldn’t take the cage,
she opened the door and the bird flew out. So if
anyone hears a parrot barking in the trees, please
tell the police! Nina is desperate to find her hero!
10 True, false or doesn’t say?
