A robot built to disarm bombs was put to an unusual use on Friday, rescuing a pet bird from a Sydney apartment block.
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.
Ms Bruce immediately ran to take Tweety out for a cuddle.
Well I suppose bomb disposal equipment can be multi-functional

Could have been a bit of a shock if they'd accidentally fired it.
Nice to see it getting a happier application.
If it had been fired accidentally I think there would have been a lynching lol. At least they got the pet out alive though, I doubt that many were so lucky
