Aug. 31 (UPI) -- Firefighters in California were called out to a local tree to rescue a pet parrot that flew up to a high branch and was stranded for multiple days.
Cal Fire of Butte County said on social media that the City of Oroville Fire Department was contacted last week on "a different call for service -- a bird stuck in a tree."
"Normally we just let birds perch and do their businesses, but this was an exotic beloved pet that had been stuck for many days," the post said.
The owner coaxed the bird from the ground while firefighters used "squirts of water" to encourage the avian downward.
"The bird was safely extracted and reunited with his father," officials wrote.
