It’s so easy for a faulty accusation to brand a person for life due to a mugshot circulating the internet. So I’m glad that, when RTV Utrecht reported on this parakeet’s arrest by the local police, they placed a bar over his eyes to obscure his identity.
In this case, the police arrested a man for shoplifting who, at the time, had the bird on his shoulder. Not knowing what to do with the bird, they locked him in a holding cell and gave him some bread while processing him. You can read the Dutch report here or what Google Translate offers in English.
