Up a tree for the bird(s)

In Porter, Texas, William Hart found himself stuck 60 feet off the ground Tuesday when he tried to retrieve his $2,000 pet cockatoo.

According to an Associated Press article, Hart chased after the bird, named Geronimo, when it flew out a bedroom window.

Hart climbed the pine tree and the bird flew to him, but they both were stuck.

Firefighters couldn't back up a truck to the tree because of rain-soaked ground, so the Coast Guard was called in. They used a harness to get man and bird down.

I am so glad Kate can't fly or climb trees for that matter.
