Hilarious - Based on True Events
Cluck-Cluck Goes to Court is a hilarious short story about a zealous talking Golden Nape parrot named Cluck-Cluck who always has the last word.
Gina, a new pet shop owner, finds herself entangled in her twelve-year-old son Billy’s escapade along with their beloved parrot Cluck-Cluck. Billy decides to sluff school, and the fun only begins when a burglary ruins his plans for the day. Gina, along with her son and Cluck-Cluck, are hauled into court by subpoena as witnesses from the defendant’s lawyer.
In a court hearing that requires quirky extremes to keep order in the court over the giggles from the spectators, an equally zealous lawyer tests the extremes of theatrical. Using props, gadgets, and Avon-calling doorbells, he attempts to convince the judge that the defendant did not commit burglary but was verbally invited into his ex-girlfriend's parent's home by the one and only Cluck-Cluck the talking Golden Nape parrot. Tongue in cheek, we witness and observe the legal system in all its glory.​
The adventures of Cluck-Cluck series will take you on a fun-filled journey of the love shared between a parrot and his family.
It all began when a little Yellow Nape Parrot arrived at the family pet shop in one of the weekly deliveries and soon worked his way into the hearts of the owners and their five children, who decided to adopt him as a special feathered member of the family.
​
They named him Cluck-Cluck because he made a funny clucking sound in his throat when he was excited or nervous.
Cluck-Cluck could talk up a storm and had the most beautiful singing voice that would put most opera stars to shame.
​
He proved to be far superior to any watchdog or security system. The minute anyone approached the home, by foot or motor vehicle, he immediately began his vocal or musical repertoire.
​
Little did the family know that Cluck-Cluck’s keen sense of hearing would foil the plans of an attempted burglary at their home and land him in court with a subpoena as the key witness. Read the story to the end and you will understand the truth of this story.
​
Follow this fun—filled tale based on a true story, as Cluck-Cluck has his day in court and is able to convince the judge that the defendant was guilty as charged and justice was served.
