SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - A robot designed to disarm bombs was sent Friday to rescue a pet bird whose owner had to flee her apartment building two days earlier because it was endangered by a nearby tunnel collapse.
The cockatiel, named Tweety, was stranded in the apartment directly above a section of the building that partially collapsed when a giant hole opened up near the site of a new tunnel earlier this week.
Tweety's owner, Karen Bruce, was barred from re-entering the building to get her pet after she and about 60 other residents were awakened early Wednesday and ordered to flee.
