He’s found it, now, and should stick with it.

Animals do the darnedest things: Pirate parrot attacks

A macaw that appeared in the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie has attacked a police officer at a ferry dock in Dover, England. These celebrities. They get a little fame, and maybe a beak full of rum, and it all goes to their head.
