Pet bird survives vacuum cleaner

[Revmitchell]

A banged up and bruised parakeet is back at home with its family after a ride in a vacuum cleaner.

Birdie's owner, Marie Margarone, was using her industrial vacuum when she accidentally sucked up the bird.

"All of a sudden I heard noise. I looked in where the air comes out and I saw feathers. I shut it off immediately and knew something had gone terribly wrong," Margarone said.

Sing it with me.... "The bird of paradise flew up my hose!"

When I was 13, our parakeet didn't survive me accidentally stepping on it when it got out of its cage and was on the floor.
