Talking Parrots are Fun, You Say?
Noone carries funnier human interest stories than the Beeb, and this one is better than most. All you parrot lovers, here's a good reason to never, ever keep a goddamn parrot at home, not even one named for David Bowie. Or any other talking creature for that matter.
UPDATE: Amit reminds me that Zoo Station featured another talking parrot not so long ago. Best topical blog, eh? :)
A parrot owner was alerted to his girlfriend's infidelity when his talkative pet let the cat out of the bag by squawking "I love you Gary". Suzy Collins had been meeting ex-work colleague "Gary" for four months in the Leeds flat she shared with her partner Chris Taylor, according to reports. Mr Taylor apparently became suspicious after Ziggy croaked "Hiya Gary" when Ms Collins answered her mobile phone.The parrot also made smooching sounds whenever the name Gary was said on TV.I suppose you could also not cheat, but it's more fun to blame it on the parrot.
