Anton Nguyen was asleep when his home caught fire just after 2:00 a.m., according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). Nguyen didn’t hear the smoke detector. Instead, he heard Eric calling his name repeatedly, ABC reported. "I heard a bang and Eric — my parrot — he started to yell so I woke up and I smelled a bit of smoke," Nguyen told ABC."I grabbed Eric, opened the door and looked to the back of the house and saw some flames,” he added.
Officials told ABC that Nguyen’s home did have a smoke detector, but it didn’t go off before Eric started calling “Anton! Anton!”
