who had been furiously beating on the window and chirping.
The tiny yellow bird had escaped from the aunt's house and flown through the storm to the next house. There it had pecked at the window with such desperate fury that it collapsed in exhaustion and died before their eyes. Now completely alarmed, the niece and her husband raced over to the aunt's house.
They found the old lady lying unconscious on the floor in a pool of blood. She had slipped and fallen, striking her head on a table corner. Her niece rushed her to the hospital.
Because of her little bird's loyalty and determination to get help, even at the sacrifice of his own life, the woman's life was saved.
Gratitude is an emotion often assumed to belong exclusively to humans. However it is so common in parrots that cunning parrot-traders often create a dangerous or frightening situation for parrots just so they can rescue them from it. The parrots then mistakenly give their love and trust to the dealers and are easier to control.
