WILD PARROTS OF TEGELEN HOLLAND

Flatulent parrots killed an animal lover who collapsed and died in Tegelen, Holland . The unnamed victim, whose double-glazed house reeked of expelled wind from dozens of pet birds, had called an ambulance, saying he felt ill — but died before paramedics arrived. The police blamed a combination of the birds' farts and ammonia from their droppings. Sun, 21 Nov 2003.
