(FoxNews 032509) – DENVER — A parrot that alerted his owner about a baby who was choking was recognized as a hero by the Red Cross.

Willie the parrot was given the Animal Lifesaver Award during the “Breakfast of Champions” event attended by Gov. Bill Ritter and Mayor John Hickenlooper.

(Ed Note: My spouse and I are kept by two parrots. This article and the FoxNews special on Willie this morning prompted me to share this with everyone. We think our parrots would also do their best to alert us to danger.)
