TIL that a parrot named Willie alerted its owner, Megan Howard, when a toddler began to choke. Willie began screaming "mama, baby" while flapping its wings as the child turned blue, saving the girls life.

I am calling BS. No way could a bird flapping its wings produce enough air flow to dislodge whatever was choking that toddler.

I can't detect if that's sarcasm, but in case it's not: The parrot just alerted the mother, who then saved the child. The headline is just structured in a weird way.

Parrots are so smart! One of the most intelligent non-human animals in the animal kingdom!

Better add a wing to his birdhouse. And an extra wing for him, while you're at it.

Love Quaker parrots. Stories about animals warning humans who aren't paying attention also warm my heart.

The article itself? "Todler" and "bagan" all within the first two paragraphs? How does that get on a news site? The article isn't even that long! The title got "toddler" right!
