Everyone knows parrots can learn to talk, well in one case, this saved someone’s life. Willie the parrot who lives in Colorado saved a child’s life thanks to this skill. In 2008, Megan Howard, Willie’s owner, was looking after a toddler. Megan left the room for a moment when the toddler started to choke on her food. Willie seeing this, began to cry out “Mama! Baby!” repeatedly, turning himself into a siren. Hearing the commotion, Megan came back into the room and was able to perform the Heimlich maneuver on the toddler, saving her life.
