Like every devoted mother bird, Pippa the silver crested cockatoo is ready to defend her clutch of eggs to the death.
Sadly for her, however, they will never hatch. For Pippa has adopted a bowl containing 20 Cadbury's Creme Eggs, which her owner Geoff Grewcock had intended to hand to friends and family over Easter. The 17-year-old bird squawks and flaps whenever anyone approaches. "When I first saw her perched there I thought it was hilarious but now I'm a bit worried about her," he said at his home in Nuneaton, Warwickshire.

Any bird that tries to keep me away from MY Cadbury eggs is liable wind up as General Tsao’s “chicken”.

In a similar story, when I finished a package of peeps, unsated, I went on to eat two parakeets. The crunch is a clue.

That is either the most mellow Akita in the world, or else he’s making dinner plans.
