ShinyDiscoBall 2 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Parrot squawks on woman's affair A parrot owner was alerted to his girlfriend's infidelity when his talkative pet let the cat out of the bag by squawking "I love you Gary". Suzy Collins had been meeting ex-work colleague "Gary" for four months in the Leeds flat she shared with her partner Chris Taylor, according to reports. Mr Taylor apparently became suspicious after Ziggy croaked "Hiya Gary" when Ms Collins answered her mobile phone. The parrot also made smooching sounds whenever the name Gary was said on TV. New home Mr Taylor, 30, a computer programmer, confronted the woman he had lived with for a year who admitted the affair and moved out, several newspapers reported. He also gave up his eight-year-old African Grey parrot after the bird continued to call out Gary's name and refused to stop squawking the phrases in his ex-girlfriend's voice. "I wasn't sorry to see the back of Suzy after what she did, but it really broke my heart to let Ziggy go," he said. "I love him to bits and I really miss having him around, but it was torture hearing him repeat that name over and over again." Ms Collins, 25, said: "I'm not proud of what I did but I'm sure Chris would be the first to admit we were having problems." Ziggy - named after David Bowie's former alter ego Ziggy Stardust - has now found a new home through the offices of a local parrot dealer. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I use to have a cockatoo and a cockatiel - both were really kick@ss birds. Could sing, talk, and dance. We also had a saltwater tank at that time and while it was a pain in the ass to keep up it was sweet to have in your house. Link to post Share on other sites
