Divorcing couple clash over parrot
A divorcing couple in Argentina are going to court to fight over the custody of their pet parrot.
The couple, from Cordoba, had the parrot, Paquito, for ten years before they split up.
Now, the husband accuses his ex-wife of stealing the bird and wants a judge to decide who should keep it.
Benjamim Astudillo, the woman's lawyer, told El Universal: "My client took the parrot to a friend's house so that her children could see the bird which they really missed.
"The parrot had been left with their father and they had never seen it."
Local police have now got involved in the dispute and are trying to decide who is the legitimate owner of the parrot.

I think the parrot should be allowed to decide who it stays with.
Absolutely msolga. The court should order a trial period of care for each spouse with the parrot. The bird will definitely show more affection and a happy demeanor with the preferred owner.
Poor parrot may need counselling after the trial period.
Imagine, all that competition for it's affection .... then the guilt of rejecting one of its owners.
Does the parrot have it's own lawyer?
It's always the parrot that suffers....
I wouldn't mind having Churchill's parrot who was taught to say things like "F--- Hitler." Now THAT is fun at parties.
