Tweety rescued!

Tweety, the trapped pet cockatiel, has been rescued from a partially collapsed Sydney block by a robot.

Tweety's owners Karen Bruce and Rob Colquhuon's unit is one of three at the front of the Lane Cove building, teetering closest to the 10-metre hole caused by the sudden rock slip and subsequent burst water main

"It's fantastic to have Tweety back," said Ms Bruce, who has yet to get any other possessions back from her flat.

She said they would take the bird to a vet to be checked out but it seemed to be OK.

"Good result, good outcome," said Mr Colquhoun.

The police robot went into the block this morning and managed to hook the bird's cage and bring it out.

Earlier Ms Cruce told ABC Radio: "She's probably so fretting for us because she's only a couple of months old and she's still hand fed, and because she has sort of 24 hour handling and rearing."
