LUND, Sweden, April 23 (UPI) -- Police in Lund, Sweden, said a 25-year-old man allegedly shot his neighbor's parrot after it pecked at him with its beak.
Investigators said the man, who described the bird as "cocky," claimed to have fired three shots at the parrot, all of which he said missed, Swedish News Agency TT reported Wednesday.
