DENVER – A parrot that alerted his owner about a baby who was ******* was recognized as a hero by the Red Cross. Willie the parrot was given the ****** Lifesaver Award during the "Breakfast of Champions" event attended by Gov. Bill Ritter and Mayor John Hickenlooper.
Willie received the award Friday for his actions in November, when he and owner Megan Howard were baby-sitting a toddler. Willie repeatedly yelled "****, baby" when Howard went to the bathroom and the toddler started to ***** on her breakfast.
Howard saved the baby by performing the Heimlich maneuver but she said Willie "is the real hero."
