Man stuck up tree after parrot rescue attempt goes wrong

A man had to be rescued from a tree after he got stuck trying to save a parrot in North Somerset.
The 32-year-old man had climbed the tree in Dundry Lane, Dundry, yesterday in a bid to catch the pet bird after it had escaped.
Bristol firefighters were called to the man's rescue after he became trapped 15 metres above the ground.
An Avon Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: "The man had climbed the tree to recover a pet parrot, but was then unable to make his way back to the ground.
"The tree was overhanging live power lines, so firefighters had the supply isolated before using an extendable ladder on the aerial appliance to reach the man and parrot.
"Both were safely rescued from the tree by the firefighters before being lowered to the ground.
"The man and the parrot are not believed to have suffered any injuries as a result of the incident."
Fire crews from Bedminster and Temple attended the incident.
Afterwards, the fire service advised anyone with concerns over the welfare of an animal to contact the RSPCA in the first instance, rather than attempting a rescue themselves.
