When someone in a Florida neighborhood heard chilling cries and the words �Let me out!� they dialed 911.
Little did they know the cries were that of a 40-year-old parrot named Rambo.
After the call, four Palm Beach County Sheriff�s deputies pulled up and questioned a man who appeared to be repairing a car in his driveway. The Palm Beach Post reports that when the deputies explained their concerns, the man smiled, then told deputies he�d introduce them to the perpetrator. When he returned with the parrot, the deputies burst out laughing.
The man told officers that he taught Rambo to scream �Let me out!� when he was a kid and Rambo lived in a cage.
PBSO officials could not be reached for more details. The agency did tweet a link to a video Saturday, saying, �Our deputies in Lake Worth Beach came to the help of someone screaming for help. Hilarity ensued.�

Now this is funny.
They let the guy go without investigating further?
What if there were really a kidnapping victim in the house?
This story is weird. I can�t imagine they just took his word at face value. That doesn�t seem like very good police work.
Question here is, who (which human) is the bird parroting (pun intended??)?
Who usually gets locked up in there…?
@mommamia
It is good police work. with the only evidence being a weird noise, and that being deemed non-threatening, what further cause have they to harass an ordinary citizen? It would be illegal.
I agree with you @mommamia22 however, its possible that after it screamed that to the dispatcher, the parrot started babbaling Other gibber, which would reduce suspicion.
