鸚鵡潛伏花園模仿報警器 幾把房主逼瘋

According to the Daily Telegraph on February 10, a British woman who was "pushed to the edge" by a faulty fire alarm that sounded non-stop for several days discovered that the sound was in fact made by a parrot in her garden。

Shanna Sexton, 25, from Devon, UK, even called in workmen to try and locate the problem. But she was amazed to see an African Grey Congo parrot perched on a water butt as she hung out washing in the garden。

The noisy parrot, called Sammi, had escaped from neighbor Louise Ledger's house a week earlier and spent seven days in the garden mimicking a smoke alarm。

Ledger, 38, was distraught and spent hours searching for her beloved pet before she plastered the neighborhood with missing posters appealing for Sammi's return。

''I am over the moon. I am going to give Shanna a huge bunch of flowers. When I found out where he has I could not have got there any faster. He is always picking up funny noises from anywhere and everywhere. I think he must have heard me burning the toast once as he does mimic the smoke alarm noise," said Ledger。

據英國《每日電訊報》2月10日報道，英國一位女性連日來被家裏面的異響折騰得坐臥不安，甚至懷疑是煙霧報警器在響，但最後發現竟然是一隻潛伏在後花園的鸚鵡在作祟。

來自英國德文郡的25歲房主莎娜•賽爾斯頓還找來了修理工，試圖解決異響問題。然而，當她在後花園進行洗涮時，竟然看到一隻灰色的非洲剛果鸚鵡棲息在水桶上。

這隻調皮搗蛋的鸚鵡賽米在一週前，從莎娜•賽爾斯頓的鄰居露易絲•萊德格的家中逃跑出來。一週以來，它每天都在賽爾斯頓家後花園裏模仿煙霧報警器的聲音。

萊德格不僅在小區附近張貼了尋鳥啓示，每天還花費數小時尋找她心愛的寵物。

萊德格說：“我太激動了，我要去給莎娜送上一大捧鮮花。當我知道賽米的行蹤時，我迫不及待地想見到他。賽米在任何地方都能模仿一些搞笑的聲音。我想他一定是聽到我做燒烤的聲音，所以才能模仿出煙霧報警器的響聲。”
