"Coates said he was sorry and offered to replace the parrot"
Even if he fits in the cage at home, Coates is going to look pretty silly sitting on the guy's shoulder.
LOL! Good catch!
Now THAT'S the just punishment. Force Coates to sit in a bird cage for the next 10 years living on sunflower seeds, nuts and tap water. And if he gets too loud, you put him in the garage for awhile and shut off the lights!
That works for me.
