In Daventry, England, there lives an intelligent  17-year-old African grey parrot named Jazz, who loves to impersonate people, noises, smoke alarms, and any other sounds it finds fascinating. Late in 2018, Jazz’s owner had a good laugh over its amazing talents—which brought the local fire brigade to his doorstep.

On Nov. 14, 2018, the  sounds of a smoke alarm were heard resonating across a residential building in Windsor Close several times. Thinking it might be a building ablaze, the alarm company alerted Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service.
