London: A turquoise and yellow Macaw parrot from London by the name of Jessie has become an instant sensation for her 'rude' behaviour. She was recently stranded on the roof of a building and when a firefighter attempted to rescue her, Jessie shrugged him off and asked him to “F**k off”.

Yes, a parrot used the ‘F’ word.

Jessie escaped from her home at Cuckoo Hall Lane, Edmonton and spent three days sitting on a neighbour's roof. When her owners were unable to rescue her, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals were forced to call emergency services.

However, when the London Fire Brigade (LFB) attempted a rescue, Jessie started shouting abusive expletives at the firefighters, reported Metro.

“Jessie had been on the same roof for three days and there were concerns that she may be injured which is why she hadn’t come down,” LFB watch manager Chris Swallow told Metro.

But when a firefighter volunteered to rescue the bird, he discovered that Jessie had a bit of a foul mouth. “We then discovered that she had a foul mouth and kept swearing, much to our amusement,” said Chris Swallow.

According to the firefighter, the exact words used by Jessie the parrot were – “F**k off”

Before the rescue began, the firefighter received specific instructions from the owner who told him to say ‘I love You’. But it had no effect on Jessie who kept on swearing. The owner and Jessie are also known to speak in Turkish and Greek.

Later, it was clear that Jessie was not injured and she flew off to another roof and eventually returned to her owner.

According to reports, the LFB has made several requests to the public not to call 999 during a pet emergency.

“As with this incident, the RSPCA should be contacted in the first instance and we would always urge people to do the same if they see an animal stuck or in distress,” a spokesperson said.
