Lost Parrot Calls Out To Family Dog

COLGATE, Wis. -- You've all heard of man's best friend, but what about bird's best friend?

Tango, an African parrot, escaped from her Colgate home last week.

She spent several cold nights lost, until spotting her friend Bodie the St. Bernard, walking along.

From up in a tree, Tango called out Bodie's name.

Their owner saw the bird, rescued her, and took her home to his wife.

"All of a sudden, I heard Tango say, 'What you doing?' I went running out. He (the husband) had found her (while) rollerblading up in the subdivision. So he had taken off his roller blades and ran back in his socks with her and Bodie," Angie Keckeisen said.

Angie Keckeisen said it was the best Mother's Day present she ever had.

One of my mom's cockatiels just died. She is heart-broken and the other bird misses his companion.

cockatiels don't live very long do they?
