Swearing cockatoo violates noise law

Image

A RHODE Island woman has been accused by her neighbours of violating an animal-noise ordinance by training her cockatoo to swear.

The Providence Journal reports that Lynne Taylor is accused in Warwick municipal court of training the bird, Willy, to say expletives.

The bird allegedly aimed the invectives at the neighbours, who happen to be Ms Taylor's ex-husband and his girlfriend.

In one encounter, the bird allegedly called the girlfriend a "whore".

A municipal judge on Thursday denied Ms Taylor's request to dismiss the case.

The neighbours, Kathleen Melker and Craig Fontaine, say they have been subjected to repeated curses from the bird, at one point for 15 minutes at a time.

The animal noise ordinance imposes a small fine on any pet owner whose animal creates habitual noise.

A judge has issued restraining orders telling both women to have no contact.

When I saw the headline I was sure there had been a breakthrough in the Zimmerman case....

Trayvon Zoners have claimed to hear GZ accomplices..... and a cockatoo :24

Well I just hope that "hearsay" evidence is not allowed in this case....

They could put the cockatoo an the stand?

But if I was the bird's lawyer I would suggest he take the 5th!!
