Robot rescues bird: "David Pescovitz:


A bomb-disarming robot rescued a pet bird named Tweety from a collapsed apartment building in Sydney, Australia. From the BBC News:


Tweety the cockatiel was stranded for two days after the building partially collapsed, undermined by a new tunnel.



No-one, including Tweety's owner Karen Bruce, was allowed into the building because police deemed it too dangerous.



But help came in the form of a remote-controlled robot, which emerged from the building carrying Tweety in her cage.
