A Peterborough man and his pet macaw had a Canada Day to remember. The two were visiting Beavermead Park when the bird was "startled" and flew high into a tree in the park. Hours of coaxing the bird to return to its owner did not work. The man then decided to climb up the tree - 30 to 40 feet high - to retrieve the bird. He was successfully, however, could not climb back down safely. Peterborough Fire Services were called and were able to rescue the duo.
