While it’s important to be aware of anyone in danger around us and to immediately inform 911, sometimes it can backfire—just like this case.
A concerned woman in Lake Worth Beach, Florida, thought she heard screams for help coming from her neighbor’s backyard last week and called the police.
“Help, let me out!” the voice repeated over and over. When officers arrived to investigate, they found resident Jason Sprague out in front, working on his wife’s car.
The police were unsure what to do next until Sprague showed them his security video, which he later posted on social media.
He then went into his backyard and returned with a green and yellow parrot perched on his hand—Rambo, the culprit behind the cries.
The yellow-naped Amazon has been part of the family since he was young and has quite an interesting vocabulary.
“Help! Let me out!” was a phrase Sprague and his brothers taught Rambo when they were teens, thinking it would be funny.
The officers burst out laughing once they realized the truth, Sprague said.
