Woman accused of teaching her cockatoo to swear at neighbor

Not a day seems to go by without some lunatic woman investing a huge amount of time and energy into doing something completely irrational. A woman is being accused in court of teaching her pet cockatoo to swear at her ex-husband's new girlfriend. In court documents Kathleen Melker, of Warwick,R.I., claims that when she comes close to Willy, the neighbor's cockatoo, it repeatedly calls her a "whore." [usatoday]
