Man and parrot rescued by firefighters after both got stuck in tree

Firefighters, police and the RSPCA became embroiled in an unusual rescue in Stroud, Gloucestershire, on Thursday evening after a parrot named Cyan got stuck in a tree.



A brave rescuer named Keelan then intervened and clambered a long, long way up in a bid to get the bird back. But then he got stuck too.



A fire and rescue service spokesman said: "We were called to a parrot stuck in a tree at about 5.40pm. The RSCPA attended and then the fire service.



"A man had attempted to climb the tree and got stuck. Both parrot and man were successfully rescued with no injuries, using equipment including a cherry picker to reach them." The rescue took 40 minutes.
