A parrot gave evidence in the Three Stooges short, “Disorder In The Court.”

“Do parrots repeat something after hearing it once? They certainly dont do impressions.”
I don’t know much about parrots but a friend had one (I think the same kind mentioned in this story) and it did sound EXACTLY like her and her husband. It was very, very freaky.

Parrots can do remarkable impressions. My brother has a parrot, which can imitate several people's voices exactly. I was gobsmacked, when I first heard it.

I read elsewhere that the actual phrase was, “Don’t f_____g shoot.”
Not a joke.

I don’t know about the veracity of this story
BUT
Burglar into house and Parrot on bar keeps repeating
“Jesus is watching you?”
Finally the burglar tells the Parrot to STFU.
Parrot replies..”OK, sic em Jesus”, putting the pit bulls into action

I was on jury duty once and the victim’s parrot was part of the evidence. The killer stated at one point that the bird was out of its cage - and only someone who was at the crime scene would know that.

Kind of like the old lady on the stand and pointing out her attacker.
The DA says ‘Did he say anything to you’
‘He called me an old bag and said he had a gun’
“SHE’S LYING. I NEVER SAID I HAD A GUN” screamed the defendant.
Jury never made it to the Jury Room and had him convicted in nano seconds.

She should have purchased a Norwegian Blue. Beautiful plumage, the Norwegian Blue, but they don't talk much.

Does anyone know if Winston Churchill's parrot is still alive? It was up into the 2000’s I know.
His parrot lived in a greenhouse kind of place that was filled with tropical flowers and such. I understand it cussed quite masterfully and smoked a cigar. Wouldn't surprise me if the parrot had primo scotch for breakfast as well.
