Alcohol was a factor! That's just shocking and so hard to believe.
I wonder if the man accused the parrot of refusing to sever him more alcohol? One has to wonder if this all started much earlier when the man and the parrot walked into a Bar!

Reminds me of a punch line from a story that Irene Pepperburg told at the seminar I went to... (Alex was being attitudinous at the time.)
"And I took a step back, and reminded myself, that I was, a grown woman with a Ph.D. - AND I WAS ARGUING WITH A PARROT..."
"But the real problem I had with that was I was LOSING the argument. And it was embarrassing. So I ended up sending a grad student out to buy some more nuts."
(Alex didn't like the reward he was being given for getting the right answer, and went on strike until they got him a nut!)
I CAN'T SAY THAT I HAVE... EVER... ARGUED WITH ANY... OF MINE...
(Okay, all of them.) Especially when alcohol was involved. (Actually, it's more embarrassing to do it when alcohol ISN'T involved. NO, I'M NOT DRUNK, I'M JUST OFF MY ROCKER... THE SCREW IS LOOSE... SO THE LITTLE HAMPSTER WHEEL IN MY BRAIN IS SQUEAKING...)
ROTFLMAO!!!! Years ago I saw a news story in our community in which people arriving for work kept getting repeated wolf whistles. The police were called, they got there and discovered the wolf whistler was a neighbor's cockatoo they would put on the patio in the morning to get some sun. Where the cockatoo's balcony cage was, it bumped up to this offices location, lolllll!!! This is a great, all are very well.
Not gonna lie, there have been times i've screamed bloody murder at my bird, no alcohol needed. He knows i would't hurt him through, he'll make a show of acting scared, then soon as i stop he flies to me and acts normal. Once he even landed on me while i was mid yell and just booped me on the nose to stop me.
