Last year, some intoxicated man shot his wife's parrot with a BB gun and killed it while watching television because the parrot was squawking loudly.
This man is being indicted due to charges of animal cruelty. An unfortunate event that took place. Hopefully people can learn to deal with their parrot's annoying vocalizations through training or by simply ignoring them.
