Interesting....
Many freepers kindly helped to get a FRhomepage organized on Internet Explorer. It should look organized, now.

It's a quagmire in Germany. Our troops should pull out of Germany immediately. Let the parrots take over.

Two policemen dispatched to the scene caught sight of the parrot, which was about 90 centimeters (about three feet) long. "He didn't say anything, and definitely didn't provide his name and address. He just screeched deafeningly," said a spokesman for the Walldürn police. Jüst dürn.

It must be against the law in Germany for a parrot to sit in a tree. Throw him in the cooler.

This thread just cries out in the wilderness for a picture of the insurgent.

3 footer is nothing. In my days, about a score and three years ago, I saw a parrot which was a five footer, with tail. They were asking $3300 for it, and I figured that by simply keeping my money inside the cage I would be better off - no feeding, no cleaning, no vet bills.

From what region was that bird? Amazonia? Seems pretty big.

"It was a big beast. When one of the officers managed to grab him he wrecked his leather jacket." That must've been some sight -- a huge parrot in a multi-colored leather jacket. A shame the policeman ruined it...

Could well be amazonian. Do not remember, to tell the truth. At that time I did not have a car, and was walking by a strip shopping mall when a rainstorm hit. I hid from it in a pet shop - and there it was, a 5 foot parrot in a large cage. I couldn't have hauled it back home even if I had the money - the cage was much bigger than me. It was a brightly colored, garish bird.

Walkers in a forest near the town of Walldürn in southwestern Germany had alerted police that a huge bird with a colorful plumage was sitting in a tree. Remarkable bird, the Walldürnian Blue. Beautiful plumage!

A giant escaped parrot has been caught by police after a violent struggle. . . . Here we see a giant parrot engaged in a life-or-death struggle with a huge python. . .

Likely, if the story is true.
Hyacinth Macaws can get that big.
