POLLY WANNA MEDAL?

Some are born great, others have greatness thrust upon them but Willie the parrot is a life-saving super-bird!

He saved the life of a toddler choking to death by screeching: "Mama, baby!" over and over until his terrified owner came running to the rescue.

"Without Willie, we may have lost our beloved baby," said grateful mom Samantha Kuusk, 28.

"He saw my little Hannah in life-threatening danger and kicked up such a fuss that my friend Meagan, who was in the bathroom, was able to rush out in the nick of time and dislodge the blockage.

"I thank God for Willie!"

The amazing drama unfolded this past Nov. 7 as Meagan, 20, baby-sat 2-year-old Hannah while her best friend Samantha was taking a college chemistry class.

"I put Hannah's breakfast - a Pop Tart - on the table to cool and ran to the bathroom," said Meagan. "I was in there only 30 seconds when all hell broke loose outside.

"Willie was squawking up a storm, flapping his wings and screeching, 'Mama, baby!' over and over.

"I bolted into the kitchen to find that Hannah had climbed up a chair and crammed the Pop Tart into her mouth. "She was lying on the table with her face turning blue. It was the most terrifying moment of my life."

The little girl's life was hanging by a wing and a prayer.
