SANTIAGO. - A parrot and its alleged revelations on a murder has become the talk of the city, and have even led to the bird’s arrest and detention in the Central Police Command.
The bird has reportedly cited the names of several people who may be involved in the death of Carmen Altagracia Castillo, 60, a Dominican-Italian whose decomposed body was found Thursday in her residence of the sector Los Reyes.
Prior to the parrot’s capture the victim’s relatives affirmed that they had to protect it because it was in the residence when the crime occurred.
The Police said several people are being questioned but deny that the parrot is revealing names of possible perpetrators.

Parrots only repeat what they hear, they do not recall sounds or have memory. This stupid arrest on an innocent bird, just proves how irrelevant the "three stooges like" authorities in charge are.
Next we will have a monkey as a judge and a donkey as the main prosecution witness.

Will the parrot have acccess to booze, sex, and drugs? When trial comes, will probably been let out on bond of a couple of crackers and will never come back.

The Parakeets became rare by the 1880s. Incas, a Carolina Parakeet in the Cincinnati Zoo died in 1918. The last reported sighting in the wild was a small flock Florida in 1920. It was declared extinct by the American Ornithologists Union in 1939.

...she could be more famous than that slimy octopus " paul "
who said that?
come the octopus only picks sports outcomes, not used in murder cases.
anyway if the da wants to bring in the octopus for the trial, i would hope he also brings in the cow and the pig that where also in the home at the time of the murder.
really i hope the world gets whole of this story so all can see what is really going on in la- la land.
any tourists on this site please dont let anyone try and sell u a condo or a house in the dr.
u will never see your money again in this funny farm they call la- la land.
where nothing is for real smoke and mirors.

Captain Flint was the most evil, cruel and heartless pirate to sail the seven seas and it is his treasure that everyone is after.
I guess they have to call the parrot something.......
Parrots often have the answer!
