The secret ingredient? MY BALLS
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."

Way to go, parrot, but let's see who is singing his praises once he calls upon the bird revolution.

I had something like that happen to me. I was 15 and my mom was at work, and the clothes dryer caught fire and my cat jumped up on my bed and woke me up. There was smoke upstairs where my bedroom was but I called 911 and they put the fire out.


I firmly believe sometimes animals are more human than humans are.

They should save that award for the real heroes...the parrots that patently sit on pirates' shoulders and make them look cool.
