Can i report my horrible evil and moraless neighbor to the rspca or the police for this?

[jenny1943]

My neighbor like a drink and is always drunk and abusive to everybody and she owned an african grey parrot. 3 nights ago she came in drunk and as both of our back doors were opened i could hear her taunting her parrot as usual when suddenly i heard a shrill scream, i then heard her crying and telling her friend to call an ambulance. When i went to the front my neighbor was sitting on the step with her mouth split opened from the top of her lip to her nose where the parrot had bitten her, so off she went in the ambulance and at 2 in the morning i was awoken by loud shouting, squawking and crashing sounds which lasted 15 min and then stopped. I was worried but have heard this many times so thought nothing of it and went back to sleep.
The next morning the binmen came and i went out to hand them a full binbag from my kitchen bin and saw the binmen peering at something, it was my neighbors parrot in the bin, dead and ripped to bits, this really shocked me.
I saw my neighbor later on that morning and asked her what had happened to her parrot and she said and had somehow got the cage opened and killed the parrot. This isn't true and it's clear that when she came from the hospital she launched a revenge attack on the poor parrot which has been getting abuse for years and gave her a well deserved peck.
No animal deserves that. Can i report this to the rspca? I wouldn't be prepared to testify in court against her as she's quite a scary character especially when drunk but would be prepared to give an anonymous statement.

Scratches do not necessarily make her guilty, she may have attempted to fight off the fox...

[jenny1943]

Boo, maybe i worded that wrongly, not taunting but teasing or annoying.
No i'm not from a ghetto thank you very much and come from a well to do part of Hampstead heath.

[cazzz1975]

You have some very iffy neighbours in hampstead heath

having lived with two african greys in the past, parrots don't tend to scratch.

if she had been taunting and terrorising it as you say, then there would have been many more trips to the hospital with broken fingers and various parts of the anatomy torn off.

[Booldawg]

'scary villainous characters' I love this OP, she's so Dickensian.

[mccfluff]

exactly ankou

summat smells and its not me

[jenny1943]

Really ankou? I've been doing a bit of sleuthing this morning and have been on several African grey parrot breeding sites to see whether this womans scratches could've been caused by the parrot and all the sites say they do scratch, here's a snippet. "
African Grey parrots are very strong and they can bite with their strong pointed beak and scratch with their claws. African Grey parrots have a high intelligence and they are generally thought to be the best mimics of all parrots. Pet owners often refer to their relationship with their hand reared pet African Greys as being "like having a five-year-old child".

Having two greys hardly makes you an expert on the breed.

[mccfluff]

and not having one doesn't qualify you to comment from experience

[Ankou]

i didn't say they don't scratch, they would be more inclined to attack with the beak. nor did i say i was an expert, but thank you for suggesting it.

i bet you wish you had done your extensive research on the breed before it had died.

Hi Jenny,

I have and breed African Greys and if what you say is true then this is a very sad story. I can't begin to imagine what that bird must have been through. They are incredibly intelligent and sensitive creatures and to treat an animal of any kind like this is wrong.

I'm sorry but I do have to ask, like others, why you did not report this before?
If I had heard the noise of any animal in distress, I would not hesitate to ring someone, not necessarily the RSPCA, useless, but perhaps the police if need be.

I could never listen and do nothing.

[jenny1943]

Studying anything expands knowledge and thus can make you an expert eventually depending on how fast you learn and how reliable your source is, or do you not agree with that?
btw, my post was directed at "ANKOU' but with a close sounding username like yours i can see how it'd become confusing.

[jenny1943]

Icemaiden really hate myself and feel guilty now for not have acted in a different way now, the signs were there but so was the fear for my life.

[mccfluff]

its an open board i can comment if i like esp when you are taking the mick with this post, what do you expect, its hardly your first time around now is it

[Ankou]

"the signs were there but so was the fear for my life."

which have now disappeared, since you now want to report your neighbour ?

[jenny1943]

How very uncouth and common of you to say that. "Mick" is a derogatory term and as i'm half irish i'd be happy if you refrained from using that language if you can that it is.
Ankou, yes.

[Ankou]

go on then

[didoatwork]

Mick is certainly not a derogatory term. One of my children is a "Mick".

[mccfluff]

micheal then

[redcrx]

taking the mick has nothing to do with being Irish (or even a little bit irish)
