Police Responding To Distress Call Just See Parrot Screaming ‘Let Me Out!’

January 10, 2020 by 911media

The bird’s cries of “Let me out! Let me out! Ohhh! Ohhh! Ohhh!” were so lifelike that a neighbor called the police, concerned that a woman was actually in trouble.

Police in Florida got quite the surprise when they responded to a call reporting the sounds of a woman in distress, only to discover it was just an extremely vocal parrot.

“Our deputies in Lake Worth Beach came to the help of someone screaming for help,” the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post on Saturday. “Hilarity ensued.”

Quoting the parrot’s owner, whose identity was not revealed to the public, the post shared that the man was working on his wife’s car in the driveway last week while his parrot, Rambo, sat near the home’s entrance singing and talking to himself.

Rambo’s cries of “Let me out! Let me out! Ohhh! Ohhh! Ohhh!” were so lifelike that a neighbor called the police, concerned that a woman was actually in trouble.

“I was changing the brakes on my wife’s car and had my 40-year-old parrot, Rambo, on his outside perch where he sings and talks. Sometime later four police officers showed up saying a neighbor called because she heard a woman screaming for help,” the owner said. “I promptly introduced the officers to Rambo and we all had a good laugh.”

“I’ll bring out the screamer to you,” Rambo’s owner can be heard saying to the officers in the video as they stand in the driveway. He then walks off camera and grabs Rambo, a bright green and yellow parrot, and introduces him to the police.

“Oh man!” the officers can be heard saying in the video, which was caught on a Ring camera.

After the incident, the owner also introduced his feathered friend to the neighbor who had called the police, mistakenly thinking a woman was in danger.

“Afterwards, I also introduced Rambo to the neighbor who called in the screaming. She too had a good laugh,” the owner said. “Sometimes Rambo yells ‘help, help, let me out.’ Something I taught him when I was a kid and Rambo lived in a cage.”

Yahoo Lifestyle reached out to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s department, but was unable to get a statement at the time of publication.

This year, the names of 345 law enforcement officers — 148 who died in the line of duty in 2024 and 197 who died in previous years — have been added to the sacred walls of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C.

Tonight, at our nation’s capital, tens of thousands of people from across the country and around the world will gather on the National Mall to honor these heroes as their names are read aloud during the 37th annual Candlelight Vigil.

For those unable to attend in person but who wish to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund will host a livestream of the event at 5 p.m. PST/8 p.m. EST on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ALpizgnNz8 and on Facebook at Facebook.com/NLEOMF.

We will never forget.

Here’s a snapshot from last Friday’s Police vs. Fire team dinner! Our two teams broke bread and enjoyed a great family dinner before the big game. This annual charity fundraiser is truly a community first responder event. There are police and corrections officers from Las Vegas Metro as well as the Clark County School District Police Department. The Fire Department team has firefighters from the Clark County Fire Department, Las Vegas Fire Department, Henderson Fire Department and Mesquite Fire Department.

As proud longstanding members of National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO) we stand with our brothers and sisters remembering our heroes who sacrificed so much for those they do not know.

During National Police Week, May 11–17, the LVPPA stands with the law enforcement profession to honor our brothers and sisters who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty in 2024 and previous years. These courageous officers ran toward danger to protect their communities from those intent on causing harm and disorder. We will never forget how these brave heroes stood up against evil to fulfill their duty to protect and serve others.
