FIREFIGHTE­RS rushed to a house after a smoke alarm went off, only to find it was a mimicking parrot.

They checked the device then heard the noise again and found the culprit

The fire crew said it had gone off incorrectl­y the first time then was imitated by the bird in Daventry, Northants.

One resident joked: “I’d like to hear his impersonat­ion of the carbon monoxide detector.”

Another said: “Bet the crew were sick as a parrot.”
