Write your own punchline

ILLEGAL traders could be behind a scam in which bird lovers are duped into buying fake parrots that die days later.

RSPCA Inspectors are set to probe claims that common parakeets are being scared out of trees in London parks and sold as “rare” parrots to unsuspecting buyers.

An expert claims a Cardiff family are the latest victims of a scam where parakeets are plucked from their habitat, driven across the country and sold.

The shock and trauma causes them to die soon after.
