A parrot lives another day as firefighters saved her
ELVERTA -- Metro Fire of Sacramento saved a parrot which was stuck in a tree in Elverta over the weekend.
"Polly" the parrot escaped from her house and got caught in the strong winds. She landed at the top of a nearby tree, but was too exhausted to fly back down.
Crews used a ladder truck to reach her and returned her back to her owner.
