Police followed their sergeant's orders to kick down the door and then entered the house with guns drawn. Room by room they searched the house but could find no trace of anybody, let alone the woman in distress who had been heard to call for help. And still the cries of distress continued, despite the apparent emptiness of the building.

Then, in a bedroom on the first floor, the mystery was solved. A caged cockatoo was crying "Help me! Help me!"

The bird, who goes by the name of Luna, had duped a host of 911 callers as well as the police. Completely unfazed by the entrance of the law enforcers, Luna simply said, "Hello."

Ten-year-old Luna, a blue-eyed umbrella cockatoo, has done this twice before and, on one occasion, caused neighbors to call police because they thought a baby had been left at home alone all day. It was just Luna practicing her baby cries.
