LIFE SAVERS
Willie the parrot
Willie the parrot saved the life of two-year-old Hannah Kuusk. The young child was eating when something got stuck in her throat. Hannah's babysitter, Megan Howard, was in the bathroom at the time. She suddenly heard the bird screaming and making noises with its wings. “Then he started saying 'mama baby' over and over and over again until I came out” Megan said. Megan was quickly able to remove the food from Hannahs throat. Willie was the one who later received an award for saving Hannah life!
