Parrot Police

Posted in Fun Stuff by Fox on the September 27th, 2005

I heard this morning on the radio a funny story.
In Liverpool, UK, where funny stuff don’t stop happening - take the Beatles for example - a parrot is believed to have saved it’s owner’s home from a much certain theft.

The story: After picking up some tools from the garage, thieves were able to force the entrance of the house and managed to get in. A parrot, called Matilda, asked “Hello, how are you?” The thieves though that someone was home and didn’t respond, so the parrot got mad and asked the question once more. All that time, the thieves didn’t notice anyone and didn’t suspect a parrot was talking to them so they quickly left the place. The police weren’t to determine why the theft went wrong until the parrot started talking to them similarly it did with the thieves.

Ever since, the parrot has been hosted on several TV shows and became a star in the country.
