The Parma Fire Station is asking for help finding the owner of a parakeet that flew into one of their stations— and won't leave.
The bird has a special tag that firefighters hope the owner can identify.
So far, there are no leads.
The union's president, Anthony Hyatt, took the parakeet home, where it's been caged with a few toys while the department figures out what to do precisely.
"We call her Backseat Bernie. It kinda goes," said Hyatt. "Bernie is short for Bernadette because we think it's a girl. And Backseat because that's where the one firefighter that found her was sitting on the fire truck that day so kind of a little station mascot for right now."
If the fire department can't find the bird's owner, the chief will re-evaluate and make a decision by next week.
