This may sound hilarious but it is true. A parrot was taken into custody in Brazil after it warned it drug dealers owners of a police raid. It is reported that as he police depended on the drug den the bird cried “Mama the police,” in Portuguese. A couple were arrested in the raid. However cops were unable to get another word out of the parrot. It is obviously a loyal bird!
One morning not so long ago
When nothing turned out right,
A little bird paused on the sill
To rest from it’s long flight.
‘Oh little bird,’ I said, ‘I’m sad;
Although we’re deep in Spring,
The bluebells planted at my door
just simply will not ring.’
And then I knew how senseless
It was to fume and fret;
That I didn’t count my blessings
Was a cause for real regret.
For with the beauty all about,
Despite what day might bring,
I knew the birdlet’s song was true;
‘Why cry when you can sing?’
