QUIRKY WORLD ... Coffee-drinking parrot causes woman to crash car

Troopers from Uniontown said the 35-year-old woman was driving on a South Union Township road just before 5pm on Tuesday when she noticed the bird pecking at the lid of her coffee cup. The woman says she struck the guardrail when she glanced down to see what the bird was doing.

The woman told police that the bird likes to drink coffee — and they also found bird seed in a cup holder next to the coffee and a few feathers nearby. Police say the woman broke her arm and had facial cuts because her airbag deployed. The parrot was not hurt.
