What's the worst thing you've witnessed seeing? Andy Murray losing another game of tennis to Novak Djokovic? A child dropping an ice cream? Your parents going at it?
A murder?
Hopefully not a murder, that would be very traumatic. This parrot though, he's not so fortunate, he has seen death, according to The Independent anyway.

Last spring, Martin Duram was shot and killed in his Michigan home in Ensley Township. Police initially thought it was a double murder as his girlfriend had been shot in the head, she was later found to be still breathing though.

Their rough-mouth African grey parrot though, that saw the whole thing and now it can't stop muttering the same three words: "Don't fucking shoot."
Which sounds like a plotline lifted directly from Twin Peaks, in fact it definitely was.

Even more bizarrely, Mr Duram's parents are now seeking to persuade police to make use of the video.
Now, Michigan State Police reports obtained by 24 Hour News 8 under the Freedom of Information Act list the wife as a suspect, suggesting she tried to pull off a murder-suicide.
Glenna Duram has since recovered from the wounds and denies shooting her husband.

Mr Duram's parents told Wood TV that they are frustrated that nobody has been charged in the death and that the police investigation is still ongoing.
They also want Bud (the parrot), to be used as a witness.
Who killed Martin Duram?- A Netflix Original by David Lynch arriving in late 2018 will act as a direct sequel to the new series of Twin Peaks. That's not true, but it could be.
