Florida police respond to parrot screaming 'Let me out!'
Police were called to a Florida home after a neighbor thought a woman was screaming for help. The officers instead found a chatty parrot.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s department on Dec. 29 responded when a concerned neighbor in Lake Worth Beach reported someone calling, “Let me out! Let me out! Ohhh! Ohhh! Ohhh!”
“Hilarity ensued,” the department said on Twitter.

A man greeted the officers in his driveway and shouted, “Rambo!” when he learned why they were there.
“I was changing the brakes on my wife’s car and had my 40-year-old parrot, Rambo, on his outside perch where he sings and talks,” the unidentified resident posted on YouTube.
“I promptly introduced the officers to Rambo, and we all had a good laugh,” he said. “Afterward, I also introduced Rambo to the neighbor who called in the screaming. She too had a good laugh.”
The man wrote that he taught the parrot to say, “Help, help, let me out” when he was a kid and Rambo lived in a cage.
