This is one intelligent (and loyal) bird:

Parrot squawks on woman's affair

African Greys are often considered the best speakers among parrots
A parrot owner was alerted to his girlfriend's infidelity when his talkative pet let the cat out of the bag by squawking "I love you Gary".
Suzy Collins had been meeting ex-work colleague "Gary" for four months in the Leeds flat she shared with her partner Chris Taylor, according to reports.
Mr Taylor apparently became suspicious after Ziggy croaked "Hiya Gary" when Ms Collins answered her mobile phone.
The parrot also made smooching sounds whenever the name Gary was said on TV.

I think I might get me one of these when(if!) I next get into a relationship. Not that I'm the suspicious type or anything.

Wow... that must be the most original way to to find out your partner is cheating since that guy who claimed to be "at work" when his wife called him and asked him if he was OK. problem was, the date was 9/11 and he worked WTC...
