Ridgewood NJ, Ridgewood Fire and Ridgewood Police personnel were dispatched to assist a Walthery Avenue resident rescue her pet Cockatiel from a privately owned shade tree on Sunday morning, 11/08. The bird, Ziggy, escaped from home sometime on Saturday, 11/07, and apparently spent the night perched high up in the tree.
