Woman convicted of husband's murder after parrot witness repeats 'don't shoot Bird has been repeating what is thought to have been couple’s last conversation
A woman has been convicted of murdering her husband after his last words were repeated by the pet parrot who witnessed the attack - and has been saying the words "dont f*****g shoot."
Glenna Duram, 49, shot Martin Duram, 46, five times before turning the gun on herself in a failed suicide attempt.
Ms Duram was found guilty of first-degree murder after eight hours of deliberation by Newaygo County jury.
they decided not to call the parrot to the stand. interestingly African greys have the cognitive abilities of a 6 year old, so not as improbable as it sounds; poor little guy was traumatised and the court might have been too much what with his PTSD.

The custom of eating one’s placenta is actually centuries old, and often practiced in Chinese medicine. But it has gained mainstream appeal as celebrities like Kourtney Kardashian and Mayim Bialik have embraced the practice.
