Thread: Their son was killed; they believe his parrot is telling people who pulled the trigger

The question is whether anyone should listen.

His name is “Bud,” and he’s an African gray parrot in Ensley Township, Mich., with a filthy mouth, according to NBC affiliate WOODTV.

His latest phrase — the one he won’t stop shouting at the top of his lungs mimicking his owner’s voice — is a chilling one: “Don’t ******* shoot!”

The bird’s antics might be laughed off, were it not for the fact that Bud’s owner, 45-year-old Martin Duram, was fatally shot at his home in May 2015, according to ABC affiliate WABC. His body was found near his wife, Glenna, who had suffered a gunshot wound to her head but is alive. Though police initially assumed Glenna Duram was a victim of the shooting, police reports obtained by WOODTV reveal that she is now a suspect in the slaying.

A parrot whose home was in a New York City bar pointed out the person who killed the owner. When the owner was found dead, the police agreed to keep the place open awhile longer to see who showed up at the bar. Meanwhile, since the shooting, the parrot was yelling "Robber", "Robber". The police asked patrons if any of the regulars were no longer coming and they mentioned a fellow named Robert. When they went to locate Robert, he confessed to the murder and returned the stolen cash from the register. The police later realized the bird was trying to say "Robert" in fingering the murderer.

True story or legend, you decide.
