A family parrot has scared off would-be home invaders by letting out a series of terrifying cries after hearing a window smashed.
The blue and yellow macaw named Versace was in its cage at the Kavanagh family home in Mickleham, north of Melbourne, as they celebrated New Year’s Eve.
A security camera pointed at Versace captured the moment a would-be intruder tried to break in before the bird let out a series of screeches.
A family parrot, Versace (pictured), thwarted a potential New Year’s Eve home invasion in north Melbourne after screeching at intruders once he heard a window being broken.
The family had already left the house to attend a New Year’s Eve celebration.
It was the first time they had left their almost three-year-old pet parrot home alone.
Already flustered, Versace screams as the intruders break the room’s glass window.
She clings to the side of the cage as her screams grow louder, causing the intruders to flee leaving behind a crowbar and a large screwdriver in the backyard.
‘[The] best watchdog we’ve ever bought,” said owner Alexandra Kavanagh 9News.
Versace’s bravery came at a cost, as she was reportedly so shaken by the incident that she did not come out of her cage for hours after the family returned.
“Eventually she did and I kissed her for a long time,” Ms Kavanagh said.
I haven’t let her go since.
Versace’s owners, the Kavanaughs (pictured with Versace), had left Versace alone for the first time to celebrate New Year’s Eve and planned to shower the macaw with treats for its protection.
Grateful for their crime-stopping bird, the Kavanaghs pamper Versace with their favorite treats and toys for saving their home.
Ms Kavanagh said the hero bird “doesn’t give a bit of KFC” and eats chicken and chips as treats.
