His water bowl was dirty, he smelled strongly of cigarette smoke and lived in a cage that was much too small – without his peers. You should not keep such a parrot, the judge in Krems (Lower Austria) found. The bird even got medical problems. The owner now had to appear in court.
“The most beautiful kiss in the world,” writes the 29-year-old under a video in which he kisses his parrot on the beak. It is just one of many short films intended to illustrate the Iraqis’ love of animals for birds. He is now in court in Krems (Lower Austria) for animal abuse against the green parrot.
Parrot developed medical problems from cigarette smoke
The defendant kept him in a cage far too small to live in, fed him the wrong food – even chocolate – and exposed him to cigarette smoke. According to the vet, the bird’s lungs, liver and kidneys were badly damaged. “What knowledge do you have about parrots and keeping them?” the judge wants to know. The man just did some research on the internet…
Weeping bitterly, the 29-year-old reassures us over and over, “I didn’t do any of that.” The fact is that the little parrot reeked of smoke even when he was picked up. Due to the wrong attitude and feeding of the animal, the man lists five months in prison – not legally binding.
