In a bizarre case of infidelity, a Vietnamese man's steamy love affair with the housemaid was exposed by none other than his pet parrot, leading his wife to file for divorce. The incident was reported by Vietnamnet on Tuesday.
The couple, who owned a successful furniture business, decided to hire a maid to help with the housekeeping. They hired a woman based on the recommendations of an acquaintance and arranged for her to live in a spare room in the house, next to where the man kept his pet parrot.
According to the wife, six months later, she started noticing suspicious behavior between her husband and the maid. At first, the man was shy and awkward around the maid and would avoid staying alone at home with her. However, after a few months, he started spending more time at home in the garden, with his parrot on the rooftop
One day, the wife returned home earlier than usual and noticed that her husband and the maid seemed to be hiding something. She began to suspect that the two may be having an affair. Her suspicions were confirmed sometime later when she decided to hang the laundry on the rooftop. While making her way up, the woman heard her husband's parrot mimicking strange and explicit phrases.
Certain that her husband would not have intentionally taught the bird these sounds, she concluded that the parrot must have learned the phrases as a result of indiscretions in the maid's bedroom. The woman then installed a hidden camera in the maid's room and within a week, was able to capture her husband's infidelity on tape.
The videos reportedly showed the man and the maid engaging in a steamy love affair. The wife also discovered that the maid had initially seduced her husband in order to get more money from him.
The parrot's role in exposing the affair is reminiscent of a similar case that took place in India in March. In that case, a parrot was reportedly the prime witness in a murder case. The bird's "testimony" ultimately helped put two men behind bars for life for the gruesome killing of a woman in 2014.
The incident has sparked a debate on the intelligence of parrots and their ability to mimic human speech. Some experts have noted that parrots are capable of understanding human speech and can mimic it to a certain extent. However, they have also pointed out that parrots lack the cognitive ability to fully comprehend the meaning behind the words they are repeating.
In conclusion, the Vietnamese man's infidelity was exposed by his own pet parrot, leading his wife to file for divorce. The incident has once again highlighted the intelligence of parrots and their ability to mimic human speech. However, experts have noted that parrots lack the cognitive ability to fully comprehend the meaning behind the words they are repeating.
