'Pepe' the parrot who shouts out taxi bookings

A potty parrot called Pepe who used to live in a cab firm office has been driving neighbours round the bend -- by screeching out taxi bookings all day long. 

Retired shipyard worker John McAlinden, 55, was delighted when he was given the Yellow-Headed Amazon by a family friend two months ago and was told "he hardly says a word". 

But as soon as Pepe perched himself in the father-of-four's flat in Govan, Glasgow, he started shrieking orders. 

And the feathers really flew when a long-suffering neighbor called police to complain about the noise.
