Stolen parrot recognizes owner in pet shop, helps catch thie

A bird-brained crook was arrested after a parrot he stole turned into a police informer

Burglar Hu Feng sold a parrot to a pet shop, which was later visited by the bird's distraught owner.

When the parrot saw its master, it 'shouted out' and the thief's name and address were handed over by shop staff to police.

The bird's owner Wang Lu, from Beijing, said: 'The shop owner hadn't been able to make the bird talk but as soon as he saw me he wouldn't stop.

'He even did impressions of the geese on our farm.'


Police quickly located the burglar and arrested him for the theft while the happy relationship between parrot and its relieved owner resumed.
