Ontario police break up domestic dispute between a man and his parrot. It was “beaking off” at him
The Canadian Press (reported by National Post) April 22, 2016
BRIGHTON, Ont. — An Ontario man ran afoul of provincial police this week after spending a night at home with his pet parrot.
Police in Brighton, between Toronto and Kingston, said they were originally called to a home at 8 p.m. on Tuesday after neighbours heard what they believed to be a domestic dispute.
Northumberland OPP Const. Steve Bates said the neighbours knew the home was usually occupied by a couple, but police found only one person when they arrived.
So we attended and we located the male of the household alone in the house screaming at his pet parrot who apparently was ’beaking off’ at him, in his words.
“They heard him yelling and saying, ’I hope you die,” and so on and so forth,“ Bates said. ”So we attended and we located the male of the household alone in the house screaming at his pet parrot who apparently was ’beaking off’ at him, in his words.“
The man had been drinking, Bates said, adding that the parrot did not appear to be hurt in any way.
Police did not lay any charges.
Bates described the call as a “very interesting” one for attending officers, adding such incidents sometimes create a welcome diversion.
“These are the kinds of stories that police run into all the time,” he said. “It just adds some levity to the job.”

I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall to hear and watch that one.
LOL, Don't parrot me you dirty bird.
I wonder where the parrot learned to do that.....
I wonder what started the fight. Did the fella come home with strange birdseed on his lapel, or perhaps he come home and found the parrot in a fowl mood, or what?!
Inquiring minds wanna know!
