What? :lol:

A parrot that authorities say was trained to alert drug dealers to the presence of police has been apprehended.

Brazilian news reports spotted by The Guardian Wednesday detailed the parrot's seizing, which went down amid the Northern Brazil raid of a property where a couple was accused of selling crack. The parrot has not been named in reports but is said by regional police to have been trained by the suspects to shout about cops' looming presence in the Vila Irmã Dulce community.

"So far [the parrot] hasn't made a sound … completely silent," a local reporter said of the bird, who's said to be "super obedient."

According to a separate report from The Washington Post, the phrase the parrot is alleged to have been taught to shout translates to "Mama, police!" The parrot was initially taken to the Teresina Police Department before later being transferred to the care of an area zoo. The couple, described as a "man and teenage girl," were arrested. The suspects' legal rep, meanwhile, has disputed police's allegations regarding the parrot.
