                        BOSTON (Reuters) - 
Watch dogs are a pretty common first
line of security for U.S. homes and businesses. Watch birds not
so much. But that didn't stop Merlin, a seven-year-old
blue-and-gold macaw who scared off a burglar at a <SPAN id="lw_1200065092_0" class="yshortcuts">Massachusetts</SPAN>
pet store this week.

<SPAN id="lw_1200065092_1" class="yshortcuts">Leominster</SPAN>, about 45 miles west of <SPAN id="lw_1200065092_2" class="yshortcuts">Boston</SPAN>, and as they entered
the store the bird began to shout, said store manager Lori
Oltman on Thursday.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/bird_odd_dc"><P>"When he hears someone come into the building, or the
puppies get riled up or whatever, he'll start calling for
Rhonda, who is the woman who used to own him," Oltman said. "He
was screaming for Rhonda and they weren't aware that it was a
bird and not a person. And so they took flight rather quickly."</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/bird_odd_dc"><P>Oltman said police figured out what happened when they
arrived and heard the bird screaming in the back room. She said
the burglar escaped with just $15 in change.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/315B6C50-94CA-4144-B00F-2140F50FD2D4/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
