Pet Parrot Stops Burglary

Locksmith Dennis Baker, the victim of three burglaries in less than a month, has a home security system and three surveillance cameras monitoring his property, But police say the fourth burglary was foiled by an unlikely source -- Baker's pet parrot, Salvador, which says "hello" when it sees someone. Presumably spotting the prowler, the bird squawked, "Hello, hello," waking Baker, who retrieved a gun and investigated, locating the suspect in a garage. Baker noted, "... he had his hands in his pockets when he came through here. I had no idea what he had." Baker shot the burglar, killing him. The Dallas Morning News - Dallas, TX
