Oscar may not be the best
representative of bird intelligence
but the following u-tube
links may surprise you!
It's
hard to believe this kind of beauty still exists anywhere. Watch and
enjoy.

EDIT: What
this attorney had neglected to mention was that Oscar was depressed and
had either picked himself bare (Insanity plea) or had beak
and
feather disease and that his owners could not
afford to
drive the hundreds of miles to find a bird vet. True enough, here in
Clallam Co. Instead they fed him him tranquilizers to keep him from
squawking for help. Once the tranquilizers wore off, he was one pissed
off bird. No wonder he was found crossing the border lines to Jefferson
County - heading East to Seattle
for medical care.
I feel that way
myself all the time!
Recently
our neighboring Port Townsend Police Chief said that his officers also
use Language Line Services, and that several Parrot-speaking Port
Townsend residents volunteer as interpreters. My P.A. friend Jan
is one of them. That still does not overcome local opinion
that such Illegal
immigrants collectively represent a group that is a significant menace
to the public. 80% have committed serious crimes (as noted
with
the New Zealand KEA parrots.) The Border patrol now
outnumbers
local law enforcement and has just stepped up cross county border
checks. Oscar simply was in the wrong place at the wrong
time.
As
Ron Paul once explained regarding the Mexico fence. They are built as
much to keep Americans in as they are to keep foreigners out.
Wake
up AMERICA! I would follow the parrot to the next link, but there are four more pages to follow. Oscar Story lines.
