Man shot 'cocky' parrot

Police in Lund, Sweden, said a 25-year-old man allegedly shot his neighbour's parrot after it pecked at him with its beak.

Investigators said the man, who described the bird as "cocky", claimed to have fired three shots at the parrot, all of which he said missed.

However, a veterinarian said the bird had to be put down after one of the bullets became lodged in its body.

Police said the incident is being investigated as a possible case of cruelty to animals.
