The following report comes from the 91热爆 Daily E-mail, those Northern Isles Techno Friendly Pet Owners should be warned! Who knows what fuffy the cat might post!
Parrot squawks on woman's affair
African Greys are often considered the best speakers among parrots
A parrot owner was alerted to his girlfriend's infidelity when his talkative pet let the cat out of the bag by squawking "I love you Gary".
Suzy Collins had been meeting ex-work colleague "Gary" for four months in the Leeds flat she shared with her partner Chris Taylor, according to reports.
Mr Taylor apparently became suspicious after Ziggy croaked "Hiya Gary" when Ms Collins answered her mobile phone.
The parrot also made smooching sounds whenever the name Gary was said on TV.
Mr Taylor, 30, a computer programmer, confronted the woman he had lived with for a year who admitted the affair and moved out, several newspapers reported.
He also gave up his eight-year-old African Grey parrot after the bird continued to call out Gary's name and refused to stop squawking the phrases in his ex-girlfriend's voice.
"I wasn't sorry to see the back of Suzy after what she did, but it really broke my heart to let Ziggy go," he said.
"I love him to bits and I really miss having him around, but it was torture hearing him repeat that name over and over again."
Ms Collins, 25, said: "I'm not proud of what I did but I'm sure Chris would be the first to admit we were having problems."
Ziggy - named after David Bowie's former alter ego Ziggy Stardust - has now found a new home through the offices of a local parrot dealer.

If your pesky parrot is getting you down the Western Isles Blogs, especially those of a Ms Beag have some excellent recipes for Guga and Penguin which I'm sure could be modified to accommodate the offending bird.

You'll never get a guga to grass you up like a parrot will. Gugas can maintain confidentiality. Puffins aren't to be trusted either - they talk behind your back. Remember a gugas for life not just for Christmas.

Who did I spot there, sneaking in an application form at Cross PO for the dating festival behind their wife's back? And who is canoeing away to pastures new at South Dell PO the moment the husband jumps on the ferry?

All guga, cormorant and puffin recipes can be adapted for parrot. Just add the word Tropical before the recipe name.
You might need to adjust the quantities though. This will involve some Polly maths.

Now that Brian is teaching Photoshop by blog, residents in the Northern Isles had better look out for dogs, cats & sheep hiding behind peat stacks with digital cameras.
