Video: Parrot in trouble for shouting out taxi bookings Pepe the parrot's owner, John McAlinden, was delighted when he was given the Yellow-Headed Amazon bird two months ago. But when the bird started shrieking orders, Pepe got in trouble with the neighbours in Glasgow who called the police to complain about the noise. Pepe could be heard saying things like "taxi for Lidl," "car one" and "10-4." A Strathclyde police spokeswoman said: "We were contacted on Thursday July 5 by a member of the public who had made a complaint about noise. Officers attended and it was quickly ascertained that the culprit was indeed a parrot. The owner was given advice and no further action was taken.
