Recently, a parrot even got in on the action, albeit under less than leisurely circumstances, according to BBC News. A BBC article titled, “Essex parrot picks two locks in car escape” reads, “A parrot picked two locks on his cage and made his escape while being transported in a car in Essex. Magic, a Senegal parrot, was being moved temporarily while his owners from Leigh-on-Sea were on holiday. Their daughter Michelle Russell said Magic had been known to escape so a second lock had been put on the cage.”
