Parrot Testimony

A parrot became the key witness in a court in India’s southern state of Kerala.

The Indian Express reported the court case involving neighbors who were locked in a dispute over who owned the parrot.

To settle the argument, the judge ordered the parrot to appear in court and stand as a witness.

Crucial testimony was provided when the cooperative parrot obligingly rattled off the names of the children belonging to the family that had earlier reported the parrot missing.

Thanks to the faithful parrot, the district judge decided the case in favor of this family.
