In 2008, a Quaker parrot named Willie alerted his owner, Megan Howard, that a toddler she was babysitting started choking on her breakfast.
When 2-year-old Hannah began to turn blue, the bird squawked loudly to get Megan's attention. Then he started saying 'Mama baby' repeatedly.
Megan hurried to Hannah and performed the Heimlich maneuver, ultimately saving her life.
Megan later expressed that if Willie hadn't alerted her, she might not have come out of the bathroom in time, as the child was already turning blue.
For saving the child’s life, Willie was awarded the local Red Cross chapter's Animal Lifesaver Award.
Movie Trivia: in “Highlander”, The Kurgan originally quoted the song “Mickey”, instead of “Rock Of Ages”, but test audiences found it too unsettling! #music#trivia
