EDINBURGH, Scotland, Feb. 1 (UPI) -- A 19-year-old Scottish man who admitted to threatening his grandmother's parrot for interrupting his sleep was ordered to apologize with chocolates.

Stefan McKinsley, 19, pleaded guilty Monday to a breach of the peace after his grandmother called police Friday at 2:45 a.m. and said the teenager was intoxicated and hitting the parrot's cage, Britain's The Daily Telegraph reported Monday.

Bird probably was being annoying by yelling "Polly want a cracker" all night long.

This bird brain has polly gone to seed and shouldn't be squawking so much. This is quite a flap and he really needs to fly right and stop talon tales out of school. I bet he's soar now but what's nest for him? Actually, this pigeon sounds falcon goofy to me so please sparrow me the drama since I'm not that gull-able when John hawks these types of stories. I know he gives a hoot and that's a feather in his cap but I really don't want to rattle his cage.

Would he be charged with something if the parrot just sort of....disappeared?
