Hey, it’s more interesting than the news that Hillary used to be a Republican and once tried to join the Marines.

Greek parrot in parking fine row
A legal battle is under way in the western Greek city of Patras over a parrot that is facing a $650 (£320; 444 euros) parking ticket.

The local council says his perch is illegally parked and is obstructing drivers because it partially blocks a metered parking space.

Coco the parrot’s owner, Lambros Michalopoulos, says the bird will die if it has to move back inside.

Neither side is backing down so now the dispute is going to the courts.

    In the picture…
    IF that is the SIZE of the parking spots in GREECE…

    at least I got to see a good version of an old skit. If the parrot murders at least one council person then we have a story and one with a happy ending

  5. Froggmann says:

    Hmmm I wonder how they plan to collect thier fine. Parking boot or tow the parrot away? Either way I want to be across the street eating pop corn when it happens!

  6. Ron Larson says:

    What BS. So the parrot’s owner gets the exclusive use of publicly owned space for their own personal benefit. He should find another spot for his bird.

    I’m suprised that someone hasnt run of the bird yet…
    prolly gonna die that way than from being brought inside..
    poor parrot..
