Bud’s unexpected testimony provided investigators with crucial clues, piecing together the crime in a way no one saw coming. Polly want a cracker? More like Polly solved a murder!
A Unique Testimony
While Bud’s courtroom debut didn’t exactly happen, his vocalizations offered leads that were more helpful than a parrot on a pirate’s shoulder. This case showed that parrots aren’t just about mimicking annoying sounds; they can sometimes help crack a case wide open. Bud’s squawking was a real beak-through in the investigation, proving that justice can come from the unlikeliest of sources.
