Parrot Trapped On Roof Keeps Telling Fire Crew To "F**k Off"

From last year, but I just busted out laughing when I saw this on FB...

Jessie, a yellow and blue Macaw parrot, told the fire team that came to rescue her exactly what she thought of them, using some language as colourful as the tropical bird's plumage.

You see, Jessie had been stuck on the roof of a house in Edmonton, North London, for around three days. Eventually, the London Fire Brigade attended the scene with the intention of getting the bird down from them, however, all they got was an earful after the birds started hurling expletives at the crew.

Despite the fire volunteer bringing up a lovely bowl of food and a fluffy towel to try and coax her down, she just kept telling him to "fuck off".

LFB Watch Manager Chris Swallow, 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.
.........................
To add insult to injury, once she had finished giving the firefighter a piece of her mind, she then promptly flew off to another roof, into a tree, and then back to her owner.

My best buddy lived next door. I would yell "Chuck, Chuck".
Our mynah, Sam, picked it up quick. Chuck would walk over and ask
what I wanted. Sam could change his voice to match the copied speaker.
He did my dad "Shut the door!", he did my brother whistling. Cool bird.
He ate papaya every day and I got to clean the cage.

than I, had a mynah bird for a pet that got away and flew up in the Methodist church bell tower, leading my Dad and him to stand down on the street yelling at him to come down. His name was Satan.

Can you imagine what the neighbors thought?

I used to have three hens. There was one of them who was forever flying up onto the hedge and over onto the road. She could never get herself back over. I had to go out and get her every time.
