A Mexican motorist was busted drunken driving after his pet parakeet ratted him out to police.
Guillermo Reyes, 49, was pulled over by traffic officers at a routine alcohol checkpoint in Mexico City last week.
As he got out of his blue Chevy to be tested, cops heard a voice saying: "He's drunk, he's drunk."
At first, they thought someone else was inside the vehicle.
But, on closer inspection, they were stunned to see it was Reyes' beloved bird turned snitch.

I once knew someone who couldn't place the parrot near her living room's open window because it would curse at every passerby. Her kids and their friends had taught the parrot to be a potty mouth. LOL!!!

(32,723 posts)An old woman was lonely. She decided to get a pet. She didnt have much money so she went to a second hand pet shop. She saw many animals: a three legged cat, a dog without a tail, fish that could only swim backwards and a beautiful bird that could only say one thing, Who is it?. She decided to buy the bird. She bought a cage for her bird and went home. She put the bird by
the door and went downtown to do some shopping. The butcher kindly offered to deliver a fine roast later to her home. She then decided to get her hair done and that took longer than expected. The butcher arrived to her home while she was still at the parlor.
The butcher knocked on the door.
The parrot heard the knock and said, Who is it?
Its the butcher, said the butcher.
Who is it?, repeated the bird.
Its the butcher, he said louder, remembering it's an old lady who lives there and she might be hard of hearing.
Who is it? asked the parrot.
Its the butcher!!, said the man, now getting angry.
Who is it?
Its the butcher!!!!, he screamed.
Who is it?
Its the butcher, the butcher, the butch...
Suddenly the butcher fell to the floor with a coronary.
Later that day, the old woman came home and found the man laying on her doorstep. She exclaimed, Oh my God! Who is it? .
The parrot replied, Its the butcher!

(154,021 posts)And that is a gifted one, Usually those guys do not talk in ways that you could understand. It's a good thing the two conures only speak parrotese, if I ever were stopped by the cops with them on board that is. That said, I know what they want most of the time. I guess I am conversant enough in Conure (nanday and Sun)
Oh and here is a photo of the bird, who was sent to the drunk tank with owner, for owner to sober up
