00:00Could a parrot be a witness in a Michigan murder case?

00:12Why not?

00:13A murder case in the Grand Rapids area has taken a bizarre twist

00:17after the victim's parrot, Bud, was recorded repeating words

00:22that the man's family believes it heard just before their son was shot dead.

00:27Here's the video.

00:28Can we?

00:29Yeah, yeah.

00:31No way.

00:43Next to the stand, I'd like to call.

00:50Mr. Butters.

00:51Mr. Butterscotch, do you remember what happened that fateful night?

01:03Mr. Butters, could you repeat some of the events you may or may not have witnessed at?

01:07Did you get that strike that from the record?

01:13No laughing matter, Mr. Butterscotch.

01:17I'll remind you again, you're under oath.

01:18He's got his little talons spread over the Bible.

01:34He's looking at the lady like, you're going down, bitch.

01:38I heard the whole thing.

01:40Who will take that bird now?

01:42That's a narc-ass bird right there.

01:46Yeah, Andy, you don't want that bird.

01:47No, you don't want a talking bird.

01:50Well, my bird would just record me crying all the time.

01:54Yeah, what will your bird sound like?

01:56Oh, God.

01:57I'd hate to know what my bird would sound like.

01:59Yeah, well, your bird would probably just be...

02:02Oh, no, I would just pick up on all sorts of different...

02:06Oh, I basically live with a bird.

02:09Super annoying and just screaming all day.

02:14What does your bird sound like, Chuck?

02:15Yeah.

02:16That's it!

02:21That's what your bird would say.

02:25Jesus bird.

02:30Chuck!

02:32All I hear is, uh...

02:37Brush your teeth!

02:39Get up here!

02:43Stella, where are you?

02:45And it would, I mean, honestly...

02:46But then you'd hear it everything in...

02:49Oh, yeah.

02:50Twice.

02:51All day.

02:51So you'd hear your wife, and then you'd hear the parrot.

02:53And even after your wife left, the parrot would still be going.

02:56Just drive it home.

02:57Yep.

02:58Drive it all home.

03:00No.

03:00Well, what would happen is, I'd have to get rid of the bird eventually.

03:04But then some poor family...

03:06Oh, they take the bird.

03:08...is going to take the bird, and they're just going to be like...

03:10Cross it!

03:12Chuck!

03:13Get upstairs!

03:15Your dinner's ready!

03:18Rowan!

03:20Brush your teeth!

03:23Stella!

03:25Stella!

03:26Stella!

03:27Stella!

03:27I'm telling you, man.

03:31Yeah, this used to be Chuck the Freak's bird.

03:33It's driving me nuts!

03:35You'd never hear it say anything.

03:36Don't shut up!

03:37It wouldn't even know what I sounded like.

03:39Oh, and then bring it in to work every day.

03:42It would take two days, max, for it to just be an unbearable bird.

03:47Bring it in to work, and then he follows you everywhere you go.

03:52Oh, yeah, because it would be like, sit on my shoulder and just be like, cross it!

03:58That's a cross it!

03:59Cross it!

04:03That's my parrot.

04:06I thought I'd hate him, but he's awesome.

04:09But he's got a few issues he's working through.

04:13Stella!

04:16Chuck!

04:16It's okay, bird.

04:21We're not there right now.

04:24You'd live in terror, man.

04:26You couldn't escape it.

04:27A bird would be terrified.

04:29I think you'd try and let it go free.

04:32You'd try and get rid of it.

04:33I wish I had wings.

04:34I'd just scare somebody in the woods, because they're like...

04:37Something's screaming CrossFit up there.

04:41It's just in the middle of the woods.

04:42It's like...

04:43I'm gonna kill you!

04:45I'm gonna kill you!

04:46I think we should go home.

04:50Yeah.

04:52Just for the humor of it, it isn't a bad idea, especially if there's...

04:56What do you think would be the three phrases your parrot would repeat the most?

05:00Oh, it would be...

05:01It would just...

05:02It'd be the names.

05:04Brush your teeth.

05:05Mm-hmm.

05:07And, uh...

05:08Chuck, get up here!

05:10We're waiting for you!

05:13Yeah, what was that?

05:14We're waiting for you!

05:17It'd probably hear my just aloof...

05:20My like...

05:20Yep!

05:24Yep!

05:27We'd pick that up, probably.

05:28I'm sure I do say something.

05:31Okay!

05:32Okay!

05:36Oh, that poor bird would be awesome.

05:38What?

05:39We'll be right back to you.

05:43We'll be right back to you.

05:44Nice to meet you.

05:45Yeah, it's hard, Mike!

05:45Bye!

05:46No,야, no!

05:47Oh, yeah, it's hard!

05:57You won't have nothing.

05:59You won't be right back.

06:00I'll have to know when-

06:01Oh, yeah.

06:01No!

06:01Yeah!

06:02So, yeah, I'm sure I'm like, you won't even know what officers are saying with me.
