Parrots rescued from burning house shouted 'help' and 'fire'

Emergency crews responded to a house fire in Canyon County, Idaho, on Friday night that caused some confusion.



Canyon County Dispatch says the fire was reported just outside Middleton. When firefighters arrived, they heard noises inside the house which lead them to believe there were people inside.



Once they got the flames contained, though, they discovered that the noises were actually coming from two shouting parrots. Firefighters say the birds were saying "Help!" and "Fire!"

Video disappointingly has no sound,

Crews removed the birds from the home and gave them oxygen. They are expected to be all right. No people were found inside the house. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

There's a short news video here.

"See, Harry? I told you that stealing that match, scraping it across the cuttlebone and tossing it to the rug would get us out of here."

" Oh shut up, Phil. Never get me mixed up in your crazy escape schemes again!"
