    ...and the parrot’s refusing to talk until he can consult with his attorney.

    Ann Arbor. My home town. Where there is something in the air that induces insanity for tose even visiting the place. Another reason I now live in Texas.

    You laugh, but years ago, my husband owned a parrot that took a great dislike to me, after I spurned his amorous advances. I’m not kidding. He used to try to hop onto my hand and er, play, so to speak.
After I refused to let him, he became mean to me. Only me. He bit, when he got the chance. Thank heaven he wasn’t too large. He screamed so loudly when I entered “his” room that it could be heard outside our brick duplex. Thank heaven his wings were clipped, or he would have attacked me.
Parrots, in my experience, are very intelligent, predatory, territorial, omnivorous, and omnisexual. Disgusting!

    The owner told officers he was disciplining and training the bird. Now that's kinky, I dont care who you are.

    Sexy is when you use a feather.
Kinky is when you use the whole *%^$ bird!

    He’s a stiff....bereft of life! He has rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex parrot.
