A parrot has been seized by police after it tried to warn drug dealers of a raid in northern Brazil by shouting: “Mummy, police”.
“He must have been trained for that,” said one officer involved in the operation. “As soon as police got close he began shouting.” A Brazilian journalist claimed the bird appeared to have invoked its right to remain silent, adding: “So far it hasn’t made a sound.”Police claimed the bird’s owner, known as “India”, had been arrested twice for drug trafficking in the past.
