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.

SARASOTA??? The Pelican Man's Bird Sanctuary in Sarasota is getting ready to release one buzzed bird back out into the wild. Vets at the sanctuary have been caring for a screech owl that was found acting a little odd.
A couple purchased a Christmas tree and had it in the house for five days before decorating it. That's when the couple discovered a tiny screech owl in the tree.
The couple called the sanctuary's rescue squad.
But the story wasn't very interesting until Melissa Dolinsky began assessing the owl's health.
"I kept smelling him and smelling him going, 'What is that odor?'"
She thought it smelled like marijuana.
"Just kind of laying there as happy as could be," said Dolinsky.
They examined the owl looked in his eyes and determined the owl was stoned.
"Absolutely a first for me. I've never had any owl or any other winged creature for that matter come in high? Absolutely a first," said Jeff Dering of Pelican Man's Bird Sanctuary
In true holiday timing, the December guest has generated some much needed attention for the struggling sanctuary.
The sanctuary named the owl Cheech the Screetch.
The staff set Cheech free Thursday afternoon into the trees along bradenton beach
sounds like an awesome psych record.
