Pet whistle-blower? Parrot exposes husband's affair with maid to wife


If you thought birds were feather-brained, think again. A parrot in Kuwait let slip his owner's affair with the housekeeper, and that too in front of his wife.

The bird first began repeating the flirty conversations between the man and his lover, arousing his wife's suspicions.

The woman always had doubts about the alleged affair, but the pet gave her the evidence she needed, local newspaper Al Shahed Daily said.

As adultery is illegal in Kuwait, carrying a potential prison sentence or even hard labour, the enraged wife headed straight to the police station with her parrot in tow, to report the love affair. Fortunately, for the philanderer, the cops rejected the evidence. They argued the bird could have overheard the flirty banter on the television or radio.

It's not the first time a parrot has allegedly exposed a secret love affair. In 2006, a British computer programmer, Chris Taylor discovered his girlfriend's infidelity when his talkative pet squawked, "I love you Gary". Suzy Collins had allegedly been seeing ex-work colleague "Gary" for four months. The parrot also made kissing sounds whenever the name "Gary" was heard on TV.
