Pet cockatoo's cries bring police

TRENTON, N.J., Sept. 4 (UPI) -- Police in a New Jersey city responding to a call of a woman screaming discovered that the noise was coming from a pet cockatoo.

Passersby thought the sounds coming from a house in Trenton were those of someone screaming in terror and thought that they heard the words "Help me," WCAU-TV in Philadelphia reported.

Police officers had difficulty getting into the house, which was also home to a large German shepherd. Once inside, they found a talking bird named Luna.

Luna's owners face no charges.
