Parrot with vertigo breaks leg in 80ft fall

A parrot with vertigo has broken his leg after falling 80ft from a tree he was stuck in for over a day.

The African Grey called George rarely leaves his Merseyside home and is said to be terrified of heights.

Owner Janet Rose says she kept an all-night vigil by the tree, with the bird rooted to the spot and refusing to be coaxed down. But the Daily Post reports George eventually stepped off the branch and plunged down.

He is now recovering at home. Ms Rose said: "He is awake and looking at us, although he hasn't said anything yet.

"George is like a baby to me. He sits at the table with us every Sunday dinnertime and I make Yorkshire pudding especially for him. "He has his own place mat at the table. He is one of the family."
