SUMMERLAND KEY, Fla. (WFLA) — A Summerland Key man was arrested on Tuesday after deputies said he stole his roommate’s bird and left it injured at a bus stop in the Florida Keys.
According to a post on the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page, Justin David “Redbeard” Peters, 40, was accused of stealing the $1,800 bird on June 13. The victim, a 37-year-old woman, told police that she instructed Peters to leave the bird, Piper, alone and that he did not have permission to remove it from its cage and leave the house.
The sheriff’s office said a witness reported seeing a man at a bus stop near his business. The man disappeared, leaving a parrot on the bench in his place. People at a nearby restaurant and gas station also reportedly saw the man, later identified as Peters, with the same “agitated” red bird.

Some ‘roommates’ deserve to be flushed down the toilet
Redbeard the Pirate now sails alone.
Could be pining for the fjords
The parrot reportedly multiple broken bones, a dislocated hip and blunt force trauma to one side of its body, among other injuries.Holy carp! Let's hope the bird survives, that's serious damage.
After being dissected into pieces small enough so that they won’t clog the pipe.
So this is what they do in the Keys besides drinking and fishing.
And buggering each other..................
I heard about this maybe two months ago
The owner of the bird is a poor judge of character. It takes a certain type of low life to be that careless with such an expensive bird. Unless someone is just giving a parrot away due to their proclivity for loud screaming, they cost a pretty penny. That pet may be better off being put down unless she is ready to pay all the vet bills.
Beautiful plumage.
My confidence in FReepers is restored!
Norwegian blue, I believe.

Peters Pilfers Piper
“I know a dead parrot when I see one...”
“Hello Polly!”
I’m guessing the parrot got in a few nice bites at the jerk - and the man whacked the bird against something hard. Prayers for the woman who owns the bird - and for the bird.
Looks like A female eclectus. Poor little beaker.
Multipal broken bones, not good.
He needs a good ass kicking.
