My mate, who lives on Portland, introduced me last summer to a young couple living nearby, to their Irish Setter 'Saul', and to their parrot, while we had a cuppa together.
While visiting him a few weeks ago, I casually asked after his neighbours. He hesitated a moment, then said "Of course, you don't know.... You haven't been here since Christmas....", then dissolved in fits of laughter.
When he recovered, he explained that "Mr and Mrs G. had gone into Weymouth for the afternoon, leaving 'Saul' and the parrot in the house together. Now the parrot had the habit of giving 'Saul' a hard nip now and then when the dog was asleep, secure in the knowledge that the dog couldn't reach its perch.
Well, Mr and Mrs G. came home to a scene of carnage. The bird perch was knocked over, one of the curtains was torn down, and there were bloody parrot feathers everywhere.....
Mrs G. went ballistic, 'cos that parrot had been given to her by her dead mum, and was something of a favourite in the house. After a few minutes' shouting and screaming blue murder at the dog - which prudently hid under the sofa - she subsided into an armchair, head in arms and sobbing to herself.
The dog, ears down and clearly concerned at the mistress's distress, went rummaging around the rear of the sofa, then backed out, turned, and gently placed into Mrs G's lap.....
....the head of the dead parrot!"
