Episode description

Michael Simonsen and his “partner” Officer Byrd, a green macaw, have worked together with the Los Angeles Police Department since the 1970's. Officer Byrd and Simonsen help teach kids about safety like stranger danger as well as lift up their spirits during school visits and charity events.

Simonsen talks about the PSA’s that aired back in the ‘80’s on channel 11, which were intended to protect children and teach them good behavior as well as how he and Byrd have helped children who were at risk or being abused.
