Woman Arrested For Stealing Rare Parrot In Her Bra

POSTED: 6:35 am EST November 8, 2005

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- A woman has been arrested for padding her bra -- with a stolen rare parrot.

Not weird enough? Read more strange news LOOK! Strange News Photos Jill Knispel, 35, of Englewood, hid the Greenwing parrot in her bra after taking it from her employer, Baby Exotic Birds of Englewood, police said.

When Knispel went to trade the bird for a vintage car, she told the car's owner how she got the animal, according to the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Turns out the car's owner is friends with the man who owns the $2,000 bird.

DNA tests confirmed the bird's identity and Knispel was charged with grand theft.

"The circumstances of the case are the most bizarre I've ever encountered," said veteran wildlife investigator Lenny Barshinger.

You left out the part about cleaning up great gobs of green poo and little birdies being picky-assed eaters. Never mind that we loved it last week; this week, we think it stinks and we're hurling it across the room just to let you know how we reallllly feel about it! Oh well, I still love 'em.

Yes! That baby should grow up to look like this.

I would love to have one, but money is getting in the way ;)

I would love one also! Until my daughter becomes filthy rich as a writer, I'll have to settle for my wooden life sized one!
