[Huanqiu.com report, reporter Zhu Mengying] Firefighters are a great and hardworking profession. Not only do they need to put out fires, they also have to rescue raccoons that climb up tall buildings and coax "runaway" parrots.

According to a report by the UK's The Daily Telegraph, in London, England, there is a macaw named Jessie. She not only has beautiful turquoise and yellow feathers, but also speaks three languages: English, Greek and Turkish.

But a few days ago, for some unknown reason, she ran away from home and stayed on the roof of a nearby house for three days and three nights. On the 13th, worried that she might get hurt, her owner called the firefighters, hoping they could "coax" her down.

Before the firefighters went up, the owner prepared a "guide" for them: say "I love you" to her in English, Greek or Turkish.

So the firefighters went up with a bowl of bird food and said "I love you" to Jessie several times.

At first, Jessie fell for it and even responded to the firefighters' "declarations of love."

But a female parrot's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea, and the change came with no warning.

When the firefighters "declared their love" to her again, Jessie launched into a long, profanity-filled rant at the firefighters, telling them to "get lost!"

After saying that, Jessie flew away.

"We later found out she kept swearing, and we thought it was hilarious," said firefighter Mr. Swale.

Fortunately, Jessie was not injured and was eventually reunited with her owner.
