‘YOU cant trust a parrot. They will always talk.
Take the Suns story of an African grey called Ziggy. Ziggy is a talented bird. He cant play guitar but he can sing like a canary.
Ziggy lives with his owner, Chris Taylor, and Suzy Collins, Chriss girlfriend of two years.
Just listen to what Ziggy says when the phone rings. Hiya Gary, says Ziggy as Suzys mobile trills. Hiya Gary. Hiya Gary. And so on.
And thats not all. When the name Gary is mentioned on TV or the radio, Ziggy makes kissing sounds.
As the Mirror reports (PILLOW SQUAWK), Chris thought it was a hoot. I just dismissed it as something hed picked up from the telly. I thought it was hilarious.
But Chris was wrong. Gary was not a name chosen at random – Gary was the name of Suzys pretty boy lover. Things came to ahead when Chris and Suzy were cuddled up on the sofa and Ziggy blurted out I love you, Gary.
Suzy blushed a deep beetroot red. Suzy cried. Suzy confessed to a four-month affair with a former work colleague called Gary. Suzy was shown the door.
But if Ziggy planned to get rid of cheating Suzy – I couldnt stand Ziggy and it looks now like the feeling was mutual, says Suzy – it was a plan that backfired. Ziggy didnt know when to stop. He kept banging on about Gary this and Gary that.
As Chris tells the Mail: I couldnt get him to stop saying that bloody name. It felt like Id been stabbed through the heart every time my phone rang or he heard the name on the telly.
So Ziggy followed Suzy out of the door. And, wed like to think, into Garys waiting arms…’
