Canyon County, Idaho - Firefighters thought they were looking for people who were yelling “help” and “fire” from inside a burning house Friday night. But, according to news reports, what the firefighters were actually hearing were two parrots who the firefighters found and removed from the home. Once they got the flames contained, though, they discovered that the noises were actually coming from two parrots that were “talking”. Firefighters say the birds were actually saying “Help!” and “Fire!” Crews removed the birds from the home and gave them oxygen. They are expected to be all right.
