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.

Florida man is at it again?
Does he ever stop?
I’m guessing the parrot got in a few nice bites at the jerk.

Yep, It’s a female Eclectus. They are like the pit bull of parrots.
They can be really sweet, but if they do bite, they don’t let go.
My good friend has a parrot that he loves as much as I do my dog. He would blow your head off if he caught you trying to steal it. When I call him at home I can hear the bird saying “hello”, “hello” in the background when he picks up the phone.
“It has joined the choir invisible.!”
This story is at least a year old...
Im not surprised. Thats a lot of weight for a parrot to carry.
Now, if we were talking African Swallows...
He’s sleeping!
🤣
“He is no more!”
Doesn't have to be a bird, could have been a dog or a cat.
All worthy of a severe beat down........
My Gosh! Pebbles needs her beak washed out with soap!
Such dirty language. She sounds like a mean drunk sitting at a bar, holding her fourth or fifth shot of Johnny Walker, loudly complaining to everybody at how bad she gets treated.
At times, the owner is playing along with her.
She learned all that Sailor Talk from an abusing home.
