Firefighter rescued parrot after it got its head stuck between bars of cage

A parrot was rescued from its own cage by a firefighter after getting its head wedged between the bars.



Kiwi's owners, from Guns Village, West Bromwich, called the fire service in a "very distressed condition" when the bird became trapped as it climbed.

Watch Commander Desmond Lloyd from Oldbury fire station said it was the first time in his 29-year career he had heard of crews rescuing a parrot from its cage.



Mr Lloyd said: "We've got them down from trees. But not usually from cages. Luckily I have fat fingers and managed to bend the bars to let Kiwi pull his head out."
