    Man Fined for Punching Parrot to Death
    BERLIN (Reuters) - A German man who punched and killed his parrot for screeching incessantly has been fined $925, a newspaper reported Thursday.

    I'd had a row with my girlfriend and she left me. Charlie wouldn't stop screeching. So I punched him. I'm so sorry. He was a good friend,'' the defendant, 41, told a Berlin court, Bild
    newspaper reported.

    Police had been called to his home when neighbors mistook the parrot's screeching for human screams.

    The man had owned the African gray parrot with red tailfeathers for 11 years.

    They should put him in a ring with Mike Tyson and whisper "He called you a b**** and said you're not a real man" in Mike's ear.

    I kindof feel badly for the guy -- I don't think he really meant to, it just kindof happened. Now he's gonna feel bad about it for a very long time . . .

    It's a crazy world. I feel sorry for the guy. I feel more sorry for the parrot.

    Crazy.

    That story is so dam sad. :(

    The poor parrot was probably just nervous. That wasn't right at all.
