ANN ARBOR, Mich. A 49-year-old Jackson man has been arrested in Ann Arbor following a fight with the pet parrot carried in his backpack. Police told Annarbor.com for a story Wednesday that witnesses reported the colorful bird was shaken so violently that its feathers were scattered.
Three 911 calls were made following the Tuesday night incident. Lt. Renee Bush said the parrot was "squawking loudly" when officers arrived.

"At least he didnt beat his monkey." No, but he has been known to "lope his mule" and on occasion will "choke his chicken."

"The owner told officers he was disciplining and training the bird."There wasn't much to the story, but I sure hope they took that poor bird away from this maniac. Some people just shouldn't own pets, especially those who are so ignorant as to think the animal will cooperate if it is tortured.

Humblegunner had a gay parrot.
“How did you know the parrot was gay”, you ask?
Because they dressed alike .................

You see, the thing is... how would a parrot “fight”?
More like the parrot was defending its very life from this creature like 10 times its size.
To: TheOldLady; Eaker
If you guys are going hunting, can I come? The conditions are pretty much primitive.
Eaker's favorite dog even had to chase bulls and pee off the porch.
True story.

Obviously the parrot was winning the argument. That’s when our hero began the physical assault. Must be a lib.
