Tiny Bird Awakes Man Inside Burning NE Ind. Home

AVILLA, Ind. (AP): A northeastern Indiana man is crediting his tiny pet bird for waking him up in time to escape from his burning mobile home. Thirty-six-year-old Andy Hardiek says he was sleeping Monday afternoon after working the third shift at a factory when his cockatiel named Dylan started squawking. He says that he first tried to use a fire extinguisher to put out the flames before fleeing with Dylan and his cage.
