Celebrity Bird Attacks Policeman

By Miss Cellania in Animals & Pets, Crime & Law on Sep 11, 2009 at 12:26 pm

A 3-foot-tall macaw named Chip is in a bit of trouble over a traffic stop. The bird, who starred in the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, attacked a policeman in the course of his duties in Dover, England.

The officer arrested the woman on suspicion of driving while banned.

The attack came when he attempted to drive her car to the pound, with Chip loose inside.

The parrot, who has a 1.2m wingspan, perched on the steering wheel, pecking at the officer’s fingers throughout the journey.

Chip was not arrested, but is being held by the RSPCA until his unnamed owner is released. Link -via Arbroath

    A macaw that’s 3 feet tall? Now that I’d like to see.

    Probably measured to the tip of the longest tail feather.

    that would be a very large bird at three feet tall. If I was the cop ii would have just had the car towed instead of get into a car with a big bird!!
