Meet Ziggy (named after David Bowie's alter ego, Ziggy Stardust) he's one bird you don't want to have an affair in front of. Ziggy, an African grey parrot, broke up the relationship of owner Chris Taylor and Suzy Collins. The couple, from Leeds, England, broke up after Ziggy started saying, "I love you, Gary," in Suzy's voice. Suzy met Gary at her job and started having an affair with him. It started out small: Collins's cell phone would ring and Ziggy would say, "Hiya, Gary." He would then make kissing noises whenever he heard the name Gary on the tv or radio. Then one night as Taylor and Collins snuggled and watched tv Ziggy went in for the kill. He did his best impersonation of Collins and blurted out, "I love you, Gary." Collins's reaction sealed the deal for Taylor and the two are history. Taylor has since given Ziggy away because the bird wouldn't stop saying Gary's name. No word on the outcome of the relationshiop between Collins and Gary. Who says birds are just a pile of feathers?
