Video - Hero Parrot Saves Toddler from Choking: Willie the Winged Guardian
In 2008, a parrot named Williehis owner, Megan Howard that a toddler she was babysitting began to choke on her breakfast. As 2-year-old Hannah began to turn blue, the bird started squawking and flapping its wings to attract the attention of its owner. According to Megan Howard: "While I was in the bathroom, Willie started screaming like I'd never heard him scream before and he started flapping his wings. Then he started saying 'Mama baby' over and over and over again until I came out and looked at Hannah, and Hannah's face was turning blue because she was choking on her pop tart." She then rushed to Hannah and performed the Heimlich maneuver, saving her life. "If (Willie hadn't) warned me, I probably wouldn't have come out of the bathroom in time because she was already turning blue, her lips were blue and everything."
