This bird was not in the mood to be saved.

Parrot tells firefighter to 'f*ck off' during rescue attempt

By Morgan Sung

Aug 14, 2018

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."
