CarolandFamily Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 ** WOW I wanted to share this** Look how blessed that baby is and how we are to share the ups and downs of having birds. This was an extrodinary bird who helped save this Baby :cheer: DENVER — A parrot that alerted his owner about a baby who was choking was recognized as a hero by the Red Cross. Willie the parrot was given the Animal Lifesaver Award during the "Breakfast of Champions" event attended by Gov. Bill Ritter and Mayor John Hickenlooper. Willie received the award Friday for his actions in November, when he and owner Megan Howard were baby-sitting a toddler. Willie repeatedly yelled "Mama, baby" when Howard went to the bathroom and the toddler started to choke on her breakfast. Howard saved the baby by performing the Heimlich maneuver but she said Willie "is the real hero." ___ Information from: KCNC-TV, http://www.cbs4denver.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
