Pat Houdini's great escape

I've heard this story of Bess Houdini's pet parrot "Pat Houdini" getting loose in the Hollywood Hills, but here's an article that provides more detail. Pretty amusing. I suspect a fair amount of spin was put on it by Edward Saint. This is from the Klamath Falls Evening Herald, July 8, 1938.

      Don't know. In my head I see green?

      You know, here in Burbank there is a pack of wild parrots that I occasionally see. They are loud! Descendants of Pat maybe?
