Anton Nguyen an Australian from Brisbane, Queensland,  was saved by his pet parrot who woke him up from his bed as his two-storey house caught fire on Wednesday.

“ I heard a bang and Eric my parrot – he started to yell so I woke up and I smelled a bit of smoke. I grabbed Eric, opened the door, and looked to the back of the house and saw some flames and so I took off and bolted downstairs”.

By the time the firefighters arrived at 14:00 GMT Tuesday the house was engulfed in flames and took four crews over an hour to contain the blaze in the suburb of Kangaroo Point.

Mr. Nguyen and his bird Eric escaped with no injuries.
