This potty-mouthed parrot shouts abuse at her owners as they are forced to lock her up at mealtimes - after she was caught on camera swiping and eating a sausage from their pan. Elaine Johnson, 49, was relaxing in the living room of her York home after laying out the ingredients to make tea for her daughter Abigail Rowlends, 23.
The mum-of-three wanted to make sure that her daughter's favourite dinner of sausage, mash and beans would be ready by the time the paediatric nurse arrived home 'exhausted' after a 13-hour shift. However, when the NHS nurse went to run a bath she failed to notice that 'mischievous' African Grey parrot 'Polly Darton' had sailed silently through the door and into the kitchen behind her.
Hilarious footage shows how she discovered the cheeky 'high maintenance' parrot perched on her kitchen-top holding the coveted posh meat sausage in one claw and happily biting chunks out of it. The sausage heist forced the family to take extra measures to protect their dinner by keeping the pesky pet in a cage during mealtimes, which she has to be sent to 'kicking and screaming'.
