Complex- A parrot that authorities say was trained to alert drug dealers to the presence of police has been apprehended. Brazilian news reports spotted by The Guardian Wednesday detailed the parrot’s seizing, which went down amid the Northern Brazil raid of a property where a couple was accused of selling crack. The parrot has not been named in reports but is said by regional police to have been trained by the suspects to shout about cops’ looming presence in the Vila Irmã Dulce community. “So far [the parrot] hasn’t made a sound … completely silent,” a local reporter said of the bird, who’s said to be “super obedient.”

According to a separate report from The Washington Post, the phrase the parrot is alleged to have been taught to shout translates to “Mama, police!” The parrot was initially taken to the Teresina Police Department before later being transferred to the care of an area zoo. The couple, described as a “man and teenage girl,” were arrested. The suspects’ legal rep, meanwhile, has disputed police’s allegations regarding the parrot.

(it sounds like the parrot is free and has already been transferred to a local zoo but it’s still #FREEPARROT in these parts)

Shout out to this parrot man. Every pet should strive to be just like this parrot who refused to snitch on its owners after he got locked up. Everybody must have a code, including animals that can talk. This parrot squawked like crazy when 5-0 rolled up on his drug-dealing owners but then did say a PEEP when they locked him in a box and tried to get him to spill his guts. We should all hope we’re lucky enough to have ride or die friends like that parrot.

What other animals do you think wouldn’t snitch if they could talk? Obviously dogs wouldn’t snitch. Dogs would take any and all of your secrets to the grave and then whatever comes after that. Dogs would keep their mouths shut even when threatened with the electric chair, no doubt in my mind. Cats would snitch in .2 seconds. They’d snitch so fast it’d make your head spin. Cats might actually be the ones who call the cops in the first place. Every cat hates it’s owner and is waiting for the day the cops kick in the door and haul them away. Fuck cats.
