Police in the UK tried to save what they thought was an elderly woman in distress — only to discover that the “victim” was a parrot yelling “help!.” A tweet detailing the mixup is currently blowing up on Twitter. “The parrot in the living room talks!” reads the tweet, which was posted Wednesday by the West Midlands Police. An accompanying photo shows a cop posing with the prank calling parrot in question. The incident occurred Wednesday evening after police received a report about an elderly “shouting for help” inside her house at the Wylde Green, Sutton Coldfield. When the team kicked in the door, they found the property empty aside from a parrot in a cage in the corner of the living room. Shortly thereafter the woman’s son arrived and told them that the bird was the one making the distress cries.
