A pet Macaw stuck in a tree has left Burnley drivers in a flap as firefighters closed off a busy road to rescue it.
Motorists faced traffic jams in sweltering heat while firefighters shut down Ormerod Road to retrieve the bird from 13 feet up in a tree.
Using one fire engine and one aerial ladder platform, they worked with tree surgeons contracted by Burnley Council to rescue the Macaw, leaving the scene at 3-27pm.
