Man Arguing With Parrot Pulled Over For Erratic Driving In Clearwater

CLEARWATER, FL — Florida Highway Patrol troopers received several calls of a man driving erratically, possibly driving while intoxicated, Saturday night on U.S. 19 in Clearwater.

Troopers located the car near Clearwater Beach and pulled it over. When they approached the car, they found a man and his parrot having an argument. The parrot became angry because it wanted to go home, but the man wanted to go to Clearwater Beach. The argument distracted the man, causing him to drive erratically, said troopers.

Troopers said they "de-escalated the situation and resolved the standoff successfully."

Troopers didn't say who won the argument.

Yes, laughing really does help. But, dang, that must have been quite a heated argument.
