| A Bird in the Hand |
| 2013-10-18 |
| While being chased by a cop, a Connecticut man allegedly threw a parrot at his uniformed pursuer, who was bit on the hand when trying to shield himself from the feathered projectile. Sick him, Spike! Oh wait. You're a bird. Truly a flying projectile... Luis Santana, 32, was arrested Tuesday night on several charges, including assaulting a police officer, disorderly conduct, and animal cruelty. Bird Brain, a bit better than a bugwit. A patrolman responding to a call about a fight encountered Santana on a Waterbury street around 10 PM. When Santana bolted, bird in hand, which is worth two in the bush Officer Gary Kichar gave chase. Unhand that bird! Hokay. While fleeing, Santana turned and threw the white parrot at Kichar's head. When the cop raised his hand to protect himself, the bird bit his finger. Ow! Is Alfred Hitchcock around? I've been bitten by a Parrot! I bet some Pirate is missing his Pa |

| #4 The Orange-Wing Amazon we inherited could crack open and clean out a Brazil Nut in about 6 seconds. Takes me twice that long just to try to get the nut situated correctly in the nutcracker. Parrots beaks are designed to crush things, which they can do pretty well. |

| #3 Anyone else think Monty Python when they read this? First thing. And if I were Luis, that would be my defense: I thought it was dead! |

| #2 A friend of mine used to have a large parrot that would sit on his shoulder. Occasionally the parrot would bend down and remove the buttons on my friend's shirt with surgical precision. I suppose a large parrot could do the same with a nose, fingers, or ear lobes. |
