In November, Willie's owner, Megan Howard, was baby-sitting for a toddler. Howard left the room and the little girl, Hannah, started to choke on her breakfast.

Willie repeatedly yelled "Mama, baby" and flapped his wings, and Howard returned in time to find the girl already turning blue.

Howard saved Hannah by performing the Heimlich maneuver but said Willie "is the real hero."

That's so sweet and sad at the same time. The little girl must have been scared to death. Poor thing. I'm just thankful they saved her in time. Stories like this are such an inspiration.

Yes, they really are. It's a good thing that Willie-the-parrot was handy.

Parrots are freakishly smart. There is one that I babysit for our neighbor and she's so smart that she let's herself out of the cage cause "master's" away and tries to nip my fingers. When I tell her straight up that I will not feed her if she bites me, she will pause and step back and allow me to take her bowl for food. @_@

Oh yeah, they know a lot more than we think -- or that they *allow* us to think... erm, ok you know where I am going with this I'm sure. I'll be writing dialog for PotC if I keep on. ;)
