Parrot gives away cheating girlfriend’s secret

A loud-mouthed parrot recently gave away his owner’s cheating girlfriend’s secret by revealing her lover’s name.

Chris Taylor of Leeds, England became suspicious when the African grey parrot, named Ziggy, squawked “Hiya Gary” when Suzy Collins’ cell phone rang.

The eight-year-old parrot also made kissing sounds whenever he heard the name Gary on TV.

Taylor confronted Collins, his live-in girlfriend of two years and she revealed that she was having an affair with a man named Gary. The two would meet in Taylor’s apartment, in view of Ziggy.

Collins was dumped and Taylor gave Ziggy away after the bird continued to constantly mention Gary.

“Chris would be the first to admit we’d been having problems,” Collins said. “He spent more time talking to his bird than to me. I couldn’t stand Ziggy and it looks now like the feeling was mutual.”

Croatian man suing over loss of gender identity

Croatian Stjepan Lizacic, 56, is suing his local health authority because of the embarrassment caused by a kidney replacement from a female donor that has led him to enjoy “housework and knitting.”

Lizacic claims that in the wake of the operation his preferred pastime has changed from heavy drinking sessions to housework.

“I have developed a strange passion for female jobs like ironing, sewing, washing dishes, sorting clothes in wardrobes and even knitting,” Lizacic said to a local newspaper.

Lizacic pointed out that before the kidney transplant he expected his wife to do all the housework, but post-op he has found it rewarding.

“My wife is the only one that is pleased,” he said.

Drunken husband moved to dog house

A 75-year-old Polish man was chained up by his wife in a dog kennel because she was tired of him coming home drunk.

Zdzislawa Bukarowicza was chained in the kennel by his wife and fed dog food because she was sick of him spending all their money on vodka.

He survived almost three weeks living on an old blanket in the dog kennel and being fed from the dog bowl despite freezing temperatures.

He was eventually freed when friends, who had not seen him for several days, called the police.
