Pets are such a wonderful addition to the family, they always add that extra something to the house. Like kids that never grow up, and pick up your mood if you’re feeling down. But have you ever considered that they could save your life?
Stories of dogs saving people are pretty common, but this time we have a story of a parrot saving a family from a fire.
AP reports that when Shannon Conwell and his 9-year-old son fell asleep on the couch, they woke up to find their house on fire. The smoke alarm had sounded, but what woke them up was the family’s Amazon parrot, Peanut, who imitated the fire alarm.
According to Conwell, the parrot was “screaming his head off.” When he realized what was going on, he grabbed his son and Peanut and got out of the house.
We should really appreciate our pets, because not only are they great companions, they may actually save our lives!
