In the Greek city of Patras, a legal battle is underway over a parrot's unpaid parking fine. Coco's perch occupies part of a metered zone outside a pet shop and local police have ordered his owner to pay a $650 fine. Thus far, the owner had ignored the fine and says that if Coco has to go back inside the shop he will die from lack of social interaction.

The deputy mayor of Patras insists that the parrot's security is of paramount concern to the council but refuses to back down. He has ambitious plans to use parking revenue for funding bicycle lanes and pedestrian zones.

I hope they don't wheel clamp him!
