http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9710/14/parrot/ "The woman paid 4,900 crowns ($650) for the parrot last year.
"But a few days after she took the bird home it started behaving strangely, becoming apathetic and then losing its sense of balance so it could not sit on its perch.
"She took the parrot to a nearby vet but it died a few hours later, Swedish news agency TT reported on Tuesday. She immediately buried her dead pet.
"When the woman went back to the pet shop to complain, the shop owner refused to believe the parrot was dead, because the customer could not produce the body, and said maybe it had just been sleeping."
...probably pining for the fjords.
