Firefighters and an animal control officer in San Francisco came to the rescue of a wild parrot that got its head stuck between panes of glass on a third-floor balcony.
San Francisco Animal Care & Control said on social media that Officer Mullen responded alongside the San Francisco Fire Department on Sunday when a parrot was spotted with its head stuck between two panes of glass on the balcony of an under-construction building.
Firefighters went to the roof of a building and lowered a ladder to the balcony, where they were able to slide the bird upward to free its head.
“They wrapped the bird in a towel and handed it off to Officer Mullen, who checked out the bird,” the post said. “Thankfully they were fine: their wings, legs and neck were all OK, so Officer Mullen released the bird.”
The parrot made its way to a nearby tree to rest on a branch. UPI.com

A mysterious island that appeared and disappeared on a British Columbia reservoir has been found more than 18 miles away from where it was previously spotted.
The tree-covered island in the Williston Reservoir, north of MacKenzie, was spotted by residents and confirmed by utility company B.C. Hydro using satellite data from July 20.
Officials said the island had vanished from satellite imagery on Aug. 5.
B.C. Hyro said on social media that the island has been located along the shoreline, in a position more than 18 miles from where it was originally seen.
B.C. Hydro spokesman Bob Gammer previously explained the island likely formed over the course of several years. He said driftwood can accumulate along the shore, and plants and trees can then take root in the decomposing wood, creating a landmass atop the water.
He said the island likely broke free from the shore due to the rising water levels in the reservoir.
B.C. Hydro warned visitors to the reservoir to keep a safe distance from the unstable island.
“It isn’t an island so much as a loose collection of logs and decaying woody debris. The surface is unstable and unsafe to land on or climb across. For your safety, please keep your distance,” the company said on social media. Upi.com

I said to my wife “1-0”.
She farted and said “1 all”.
I farted and said “2-1”.
She farted and said “2 all”.
I then had a wet fart which soiled the bed.
My wife said, “What was that?”
I said “Half time. Switch sides”.
