Police always say that eyewitnesses are not 100 percent reliable, but officials have a double conundrum with a murder case in Sand Lake, Michigan, with a murder victim’s parrot reportedly having witnessed the crime and telling everyone who will listen who did the deed.
The murder victim’s parents insist that “Bud,” the victim’s African gray parrot, was present during the argument that ended in their son’s death, and periodically blurts out what he heard that terrible day.
As Nola.com reports, this case of murder began in May of 2015 when police were called to the home of 45-year-old Martin Duram and his wife Glenna. Both were lying on the floor of the home, Martin dead and Glenna barely alive. Both had been shot.

As their investigation developed, police began to suspect that the crime was a murder-suicide, with Glenna as their chief suspect.
Martin’s parents, Charles and Lillian Duram, think the parrot is the prosecution’s best witness if only they will listen.
It seems that both the Durams and Martin’s ex-wife, who now owns the parrot, think the creature witnessed the shooting and, with that event imprinted on its mind, is mimicking Martin’s plea to “don’t fu**ing shoot.”
