Parrot repeats words said before death: ‘Don’t f*cking shoot!’
It’s unlikely this could be used in court.
Click here for reuse options!The ex-wife of a western Michigan man believes a parrot is repeating something said just before his fatal shooting, but a prosecutor is downplaying whether it could be used in court.
Newaygo County Prosecutor Robert Springstead told The Associated Press on Monday he “highly doubts there is any precedent” that what’s repeated by a parrot can be used as evidence. Springstead says that when a judge says to raise a right hand, “to a parrot, are you raising a wing, a foot?”
Martin Duram was slain in Ensley Township in May 2015. Then-wife Glenna Duram had a head wound, but survived.
Ex-wife Christina Keller tells WOOD-TV that Martin Duram’s parrot, Bud, has repeated “don’t (expletive) shoot” in Martin’s voice. Springstead says he hasn’t heard it.

A burglar broke into a house one night.
He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables, and when
he picked up a CD player to place in his pack, a strange, disembodied
voice echoed from the dark saying, “Jesus is watching you.”
He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight out, and
froze. When he heard nothing more after a bit, he shook his head,
promised himself a vacation after the next big score, then clicked
the light on and began searching for more valuables. Just as he
pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as
a bell he heard,
“Jesus is watching you.” Freaked out, he shone his light
around frantically, looking for the source of the voice. Finally,
in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a
parrot. “Did you say that?”, he hissed at the parrot.
“Yep,” the parrot confessed, then squawked, “I’m
just trying to warn you.”
The burglar relaxed. “Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?”
“Moses,” replied the bird.
“Moses?” the burglar laughed. “What kind of people
would name a birdMoses?”
“The kind of people that would name a Rottweiller Jesus.”

Absolutely! I loved it so much it reminded me that at Epoch Times (after the Huffpost diaspora) some of us used to post lots of jokes. We don’t see it here, and it’s so darn good! :)
