Tequila Parrot Bird

By Anne Skove, Esq.

Is the parrot called Lucky or Tequila? To whom does it belong? And how does one get a parrot through court security?

These issues surround a gray parrot in Florida. The media calls it a custody battle, although at least one story was savvy enough to use the word chattel in a sentence. See Tequila the African Gray Parrot Reunited with Owner after Dispute, L.A. Times (April 7, 2009).

In other fowl-in-court news, no word on whether the Oregon peahen's owner has been located. We hope Cynthia avoids being the subject of such acrimony. See Wanted: Peahen Owner, court-o-rama (April 7, 2009).
