You wouldn’t think a bird would need to be rescued from a tree. On Saturday, Branson fire fighters answered the call.

At about 10 a.m. Saturday, the crew from A-shift, truck 2 responded when a neighbor called for help rescuing is parrot from a tree. The bird got out of the house and flew up into the tree.

The problem was, the bird was trailing a leash which got tangled in a branch about 50 feet in the air.

Firefighter Colt Boldman climbed the ladder, untangled the leash and safely returned the bird to his family.
