A parrot who warned two alleged drug dealers that Police were coming has been taken into custody after it almost foiled the undercover drug raid, Brazilian authorities said.
According to Brazilian media Oliberal, when the parrot spotted officers last Tuesday at its owners’ Teresina home in Brazil, it squawked “Mama, Police!” in Portuguese.
Despite the bird’s efforts to tip off its owners, a man and a woman were arrested. NBC reports says drugs, including crack and marijuana, were found at the property, as well as large amounts of money.
Funny enough, since its arrest, the parrot has remained loyal, refusing to talk, Police said.
Authorities believe the parrot was trained to spot Police cars. Meanwhile, the bird is being kept at a zoo in Teresina, a city in northeastern Brazil.
