Drug traffickers use parrots as lookouts
The parrot who tried warn its drug-dealing owner of approaching cops
is now "remanded" in police custody
The parrot is trained to speak a code phrase in Spanish when strangers approach
"Run, run! The cat is coming to get you!"
"Run, run! The cat is coming to get you!"
Despite the parrot's warning, the police arrested four drug traffickers
after finding guns and marijuana on the premises
In addition to the lookout parrot, the police took away two other birds
