Palm Beach County Sheriffs deputies broke into laughter after responding to a 911 call in which a the caller reported someone screaming “help help let me out” in a yard close to hers.
LEX18 Reports that deputies with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office responded to reports of someone screaming for help at a neighbor’s home on Dec. 29, 2019.
After showing up to the Lake Worth Beach home, the deputies soon discovered that the supposed “victim” was actually a parrot named Rambo.
The homeowner was changing the brakes on his car, according to NBC News affiliate WPTV , when the deputies arrived and notified him that his neighbor had called to report that there was a woman screaming inside asking for help and to be let out.
“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 man explained to the deputies, according to a post on the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page . “Sometime later four police officers showed up saying a neighbor called because she heard a woman screaming for help. I promptly introduced the officers to Rambo and we all had a good laugh.”
He added, “Afterward, I also introduced Rambo to the neighbor who called in the screaming.”
Luckily, his neighbor also “had a good laugh” about the entire situation.
“Sometimes Rambo yells ‘help, help, let me out,'” explained the man. “[It’s] something I taught him when I was a kid and Rambo lived in a cage.”
