Shrieking pet parrot scares off burglars who tried to break into family home
A pet parrot scared off a gang of burglars with its terrifying shrieks.
The macaw called Versace from Melbourne in Australia can be seen squawking in CCTV footage as the raiders decide to ditch their break-in tools.
As the raiders smashed a window to try and get into the family home, the feathered crime fighter starts to shout.
Verace’s screams get louder and louder as he becomes more distressed.
The winged hero’s screams were loud enough to startle the burglars and send them packing.
As he becomes more and more agitated his screams become more and more terrifying, and the burglars who tried to strike just before midnight end up fleeing the scene.
The macaw’s owners were out for New Year’s Eve and it was the first time they had left three-year-old Versace alone.
When they came home and saw the smashed window they checked their CCTV and saw that Versace was their hero.
They had also caught the whole incident on a security camera in their living room.
Alexandra Kavanagh told 9News: ‘Best guard dog we’ve ever bought…better than a guard dog.’
Alexandra said: ‘Eventually she did (stopped screaming) and I just kissed her for ages..I haven’t let her go since.’#
Versace is enjoying plenty of snacks since the scare and she may have a few more treats soon.
She added: ‘She occasionally doesn’t mind a bit of KFC..chicken and chips as a little treat.
‘I plan on buying her all new toys [too].’
