Soos iets in \u2019n wafferse fliek het die brandweer, die dierebeskermingsvereniging en bure verlede week saamgestaan om \u2019n jong papegaai in Chrismar te red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nelmarie Strydom, die eienaar van di\u00e9 African Grey-papegaai, s\u00ea sy het juis nog nie die vo\u00ebl se vlerke geknip nie omdat sy wou h\u00ea sy moet nog ontwikkel. Sy het Zoey in Desember gekry en het reeds sewe ander volwasse African Grey-papegaaie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSy lyk al soos \u2019n volwasse vo\u00ebl, maar eet nog baba-pap en toon die gedrag van \u2019n baba,\u201d s\u00ea Strydom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strydom en haar man het die voordeur verlede Maandagaand oopgelos en Zoey is \u201csoos \u2019n pyl uit \u2019n boog\u201d daar uit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk was lam van skok \u2013 ek het glad nie gedink sy kan s\u00f3 goed vlieg nie; sy is immers nog nie eens drie maande oud nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zoey het ho\u00ebr en ho\u00ebr gevlieg en ongeveer agt meter hoog in \u2019n boom in \u2019n parkie oorkant hul huis gaan sit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het als probeer om haar daar af te kry \u2013 ons het haar pap gaan haal; haar hok; selfs een van die ander vo\u00ebls, maar niks was suksesvol nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bure het probeer help, maar dit het ook op \u2019n nulletjie uitgeloop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strydom s\u00ea sy het toe besluit om die brandweer te bel, al was sy bekommerd oor die koste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die brandweer het egter ges\u00ea dit is \u2019n saak vir die dierebeskermingsvereniging en dat hulle die organisasie sou kontak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strydom het gewag tot 20:30 en in die donker huis toe gegaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKwart oor nege daardie aand het die deurklokkie gelui en dit was iemand van die Kaap de Goeie Hoop-DBV,\u201d s\u00ea Strydom, wat steeds uit die veld geslaan is oor hul hulp. Di\u00e9 tak is in Grassy Park gele\u00eb. Sy en die DBV-lede Jaco Pieterse en Elani Steenkamp is na die boom waar Zoey gesit het. Die DBV het die Bellville-brandweerstasie gebel en di\u00e9 het teen 21:45 aangekom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Almal het later hand bygesit om die boom nat te spuit om te kyk of Zoey nie uitval nie, maar tevergeefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strydom s\u00ea sy was teleurgestel, maar was \u201contsettend dankbaar vir hul bereidwilligheid om daardie tyd van die aand uit te kom en s\u00f3 hard te werk om my en Zoey te herenig\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die volgende oggend, teen 05:30, was Strydom weer by die boom \u2013 net om te sien Zoey het twee bome verder gevlieg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk kon sien hoe graag sy wou afkom, maar sy het nie geweet hoe nie. Sy het seker 15 meter hoog in hierdie boom gesit!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strydom s\u00ea sy het baie magteloos gevoel, maar moes werk toe ry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inwoners het haar deurentyd laat weet Zoey sit nog in die boom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Later die dag het sy weer die Kaap de Goeie Hoop-DBV en gevra of hulle nie weer \u2013 nou in die daglig \u2013 kon kom help nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 keer het Bryan Arendse kom help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Ander span brandweermanne het ook opgedaag en saam het hulle almal weer probeer om Zoey met \u2019n brandslang af te lei, terwyl Strydom en ander onder die boom met \u2019n vangnet gestaan het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Later het Bryan teen die heining van die Jukskeisaal opgeklim tot by \u2019n boom waar Zoey teen daardie tyd was en \u2019n tak by die vo\u00ebl gebreek. Sy het in die vangnet geval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy hart het uit my keel gespring van vreugde en trane van blydskap en dankbaarheid teenoor die Here en hierdie span mense wat Hy gestuur het,\u201d s\u00ea Strydom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy s\u00ea sy is ewig dankbaar aan die DBV en lede van die Bellville-brandweerstasie, wat die volgende insluit: Gene Brand, Msimbiti Mbalu, Carlo Mazzoncini, Zakhele Matomela, Dirk Steenkamp Kevin Manuel, Charra Fortuin, Vox Vokonqo, \u201cFlowerday\u201d Flowerday en Joe Mshazi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cElkeen van daardie lede verdien meer as \u2019n medalje.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
