Parrot behind bars

A parrot has been taken into custody after allegedly helping drug peddlers flee the scene of a bust in Barranquilla, Colombia.

On Wednesday nearly 300 cops arrived for the drug raid but found the premises vacated. They encountered a trained parrot who was repeating the phrase, "run, run or the cat will get you!" which according to authorities alerted the inmates and thieves to beat feet.
