I feel the title should be. After drug gang brought down its found the leader owned a talking parrot.

That would a be more accurate title however would it he a better one?

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Certainly. The actual title is clickbait. People expect to see somethig about the bird saying something that leads to the gang or such.

Did it at least provide supportive evidence?

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

Nope. They taught it to say some drug lingo. It mentioned it being on videos so maybe it presence with different people provided some sort of connection between individuals but im doing total conjecture now and the article does not suggest that other than talking about them having video of it and that it was taught to learn drug slang.
