British Woman's Affair Exposed

LONDON(AFP) - A talkative parrot is being blamed for the break-up of a couple's relationship after squawking the name of the woman's secret lover, British newspapers reported.
Ziggy, an eight-year-old African grey, prompted a confession from 25-year-old call centre worker Suzy Collins that she was having a four-month fling with a former colleague when the pet blurted out: "Gary, I love you."
The bird had previously said "Hiya, Gary" when Collins' mobile phone rang and made kissing noises when the name was mentioned on radio or television but its owner, Chris Taylor, from Leeds, northern England, laughed it off.
But the computer programmer -- who bought the bird as a chick and named it after singer David Bowie's alter ego, Ziggy Stardust -- said the penny dropped when the couple were snuggled up on the sofa before Christmas.
"We were watching telly when Ziggy blurted out, 'I love you, Gary' in Suzy's voice. I started laughing but when I looked at Suzy, I could tell something was up. Her face was like beetroot and she started to cry," the 30-year-old said.
"I felt sick to my stomach. She told me that she'd been seeing someone she'd met at work called Gary and that she wanted to finish with me.
"She said she was going to tell me anyway but she didn't know how and couldn't find the right time. I've not idea who this Gary is. I was devastated. Suzy left that night and I've not seen her since.
"She came back to collect her stuff when I was out. I hope I never see her again."
Collins told newspapers she was not proud of her actions but admitted she never liked Ziggy in the first place.
Taylor -- already divested of a girlfriend -- has now given away Ziggy.
"I couldn't get him to stop saying that bloody name... what else could I do?" he said.
Ms Collins has also spoken to The Times - she is surprised her former partner got rid of Ziggy because, she says, during their relationship he spent more time talking to the bird, than he did to her.
She was quoted as saying: "I couldn't stand Ziggy, but it now appears the feeling was mutual."

鸚鵡學舌「我愛你」 劈腿全露餡
尹德瀚／綜合報導英國一位婦女背著同居男友在外另結新歡，兩人經常在電話裡卿卿我我，不料男友養的鸚鵡聽了之後，竟把他們的親密對話都抖出來，導致這對男女手。
廿五歲的蘇西一年前搬去和卅歲的男友泰勒同居，泰勒養了一隻很會學舌的鸚鵡叫「吉吉」，而從幾個月前開始，每當蘇西接手機時，吉吉在旁就開口說，「嗨，葛瑞」，而當電視上說到「葛瑞」這個名字時，吉吉就會發出類似男女接吻親熱的聲音。
泰勒認識者沒有人叫葛瑞，蘇西也發誓說她沒有叫葛瑞的朋友，而到了去年耶誕節前的某一天，泰勒和蘇西兩人在沙發上耳鬢廝磨，突然吉吉用和蘇西極為相似的聲音叫說：「我愛你，葛瑞。」
這一聲「我愛你」讓泰勒背脊發涼，讓蘇西臉紅得發紫，事情終於真相大白，原來蘇西另外交了一個叫葛瑞的男友，有時還把葛瑞帶回家裡，兩人在吉吉面前辦事，因此吉吉才學會男女親熱的聲音。
泰勒和蘇西在事發當天就分手，之後泰勒把吉吉也送給別人飼養，因為吉吉改不了聽到電話響就說「嗨，葛瑞」的習慣，令泰勒聽了非常痛心。
