In a 1942 case, a man robbed and killed the owner of the Green Parrot Bar in New York City. Police questioned witnesses and looked for clues, but they couldn't solve the murder. The green parrot that lived at the bar kept saving, "Robber, robber, robber!" Everyone assumed the bird was repeating the owner's last words.
The parrot could say the names of the bar's regular customers, so one of the detectives decided to teach the parrot to say his name. He worked with the parrot for weeks before the bird could say his name. Suddenly the detective realized that the bird wouldn't be able to say "robber" after hearing the bar owner say it only once. Maybe the bird hadn't been saying, "Robber, robber, robber." What sounded similar? Perhaps "Robert"?
The detective discovered that one of the regular patrons had left town soon after the murder--and his name was Robert. The man was arrested in Baltimore, Maryland, and convicted of the murder. The story goes that when he was arrested, he said, "I never did like that bird."

Bugs, dirt, bite marks, and even pets are all potential crime-solving clues.
