Squaak! Polly Got More Than a Cracker

I read today on the news that a guy in England found out his live-in girlfriend was having an affair with someone because his pet parrott Ziggy kept saying “I love you, Gary”. The owner of Ziggy was named Chris, so obviously right there, something is not right. 🙂

Turns out, Chris’s chick (Suzy) was sleeping was some guy named Gary when Chris wasn’t there. The only eyes to witness anything was Ziggy.

African Greys are a nice breed of parrot. Not the smartest of the bunch, but if you’re going to get a parrott, these are the best ones to get, as they are the perfect mix of mentality, personality, and intelligence. I’m sure Ziggy got quite an eyefull.

One wonders though, if the sitaution could have been worse. “I love you, Gary” was the best thing Ziggy heard? I find that hard to believe. I think he’s holding out on us.

Ah well, as funny as this is, it must suck for Chris. He kicked Suzy out, and he had to get rid of Ziggy because Ziggy wouldn’t stop repeating “I love you, Gary”, or “Hiya Gary”. As much as I love animals, I’m pretty sure I would have tried really hard to get the parrott to say something else. May be “Suzy’s a slut” or something like that.

By kicking Suzy out and giving Ziggy away, who loses? Chris does. He should have kept the parrott. He was a computer programmer for crying out loud – he could have programmed something up on the computer to repeat nasty phrases about Suzy all day so Ziggy would change his vocabulary a bit. Where there is a will, there is a way. Good luck Chris!.
