Jessie,
a bright yellow and turquoise Macaw parrot, escaped her home in Edmonton, UK
over the weekend and stranded herself on her neighbor's roof for three days.
Concerned that she was injured, her owners called the Royal Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) for help. When the RSPCA was
unsuccessful in coaxing Jessie down, the London Fire Brigade stepped in.
Jesse's
owners told the firefighter to say "I love you" to try to bond with
the bird and lure her back to safety. But when a firefighter trekked to the
roof to tell her, Jessie started hurling expletives at him.
Watch
manager Chris Swallow told Metro, "We then discovered that she had a bit
of a foul mouth and kept swearing, much to our amusement."
Although Jessie responded
with "I love you," she also told the firefighter to "fuck
off."

heal And when the danger ended and People found themselves They grieved for the
dead And made new choices And dreamed of new visions And created new
