A Parrot May Be a Witness to a Murder

After I read the article about the twins, this article was a suggested article. It was titled, "Their son was killed. They believe his parrot is telling people who pulled the trigger." This article was written by Peter Holley from The Washington Post. This article tells a story of a 45 year old man who was shot and killed in his home. After the bird was given to the man's ex-wife, she noticed a phrase the bird kept saying. The bird kept saying "Don't f-ing shoot" in the man's voice. Relatives say the bird is very quick to pick up words, so they believe those could have been the man's final words.

This is an interesting article. It is scary to imagine that the bird, who is still living, may be repeating what this man's final words were. This makes the article pull emotion. It also educates the reader by sharing the story and saying that they do not think that the bird is eligible for evidence in the crime scene. This article is an unusual and upsetting story.

  1. That's so creepy that the bird is repeating the mans last words! I've actually read something similar, where a bird called 911 after its owner got injured. Gotta love pets!

  2. That's so creepy! I think its cool how the bird can repeat the mans final words but for the bird to just say it as a phrase over and over gives me chills!
