A pet budgie had a lucky escape after it was rescued from a house fire.
By another stroke of luck, the house was directly opposite Tottenham Fire Station and the home-owner only had to cross the street to alert firefighters to a fire in his oven at around 5pm.
The house's four occupants left before the arrival of 10 firefighters. Crews quickly tackled the fire and rescued a blue and grey budgie.
There were no reports of any injuries to either humans or bird.
