WASHINGTON COUNTY, Ore. — An Oregon man and his avian companion have submitted their entry into the weird mugshot hall of fame.
According to KPTV, Craig Buckner appeared in court Monday for violating a release order. He brought his parrot with him to court.
When he entered the court, he told the parrot to wait in a tree for him, the news station reported. Then, he was ordered into custody and became worried about the bird.
A deputy went to check on the parrot and found the bird was in distress due to crows circling it.
“This was Mr. Buckner’s pet. He has had this bird since it has been hatched. I could just tell how concerned he was when he went into custody, this bird was so special to him,” Deputy McKelvey said.
The bird was brought into the jail and Buckner found someone to take care of it while he is incarcerated.
