Coast Guard Called in to Rescue Bird... and man in a Tree

Bird and a man in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N... ok, well that's not quite the way this story goes. A man in Porter, TX ended up 75 feet up a tree to save his pet Cocatoo, Geronimo, after he had gotten out of his cage and flew out the door. The tale goes kinda like Humpty Dumpty, except nobody ends up busted up into a thousand pieces. First they called in the fire department whose ladder was too short. Then they called in the fire department's helicoper, which didn't have a long enough rope. Finally they called in the Coast Guard to do a tree rescue similar to those rooftop rescues that we saw in New Orleans, but when the Coast Guard officer got a hold of the two stranded "persons" in the tree, the scared Cocatoo, Geronimo, tried to protect his owner and bit the officer.

Kinda funny that a bird named Geronimo has problems flying downward ain't it?
