A German man has been fined $925 for punching and killing his
parrot for screeching uncontrollably. "I'd had a row with my
girlfriend and she left me. Charlie wouldn't stop screeching. So
I punched him. I'm so sorry. He was a good friend," the
defendant, 41, told a court. Police had been called to his home
when neighbors mistook the parrot's screeching for human
screams
