MONSTER PARROT FOUND IN CHINA

[Sequoia]

SCIENTISTS have discovered a gigantic parrot-like dinosaur – a terrifying, feathered flesh-eating monster.

The far-from-pretty Polly had a parrot’s beak and dagger-like claws and was at least twice the height of a man.

Called a Gigantoraptor, the beast has been discovered in a remote part of China and probably lived around 70 million years ago – at the same time Tyrannosaurus Rex roamed what is now North America.

Weighing more than 1.3 tons, the Gigantoraptor was 35 times heavier than any other feathered dinosaur known to date. Although it could not fly, it was extensively covered in feathers and had short "forewings" ending in large clawed hands.

when he became irate and kept insisting the find was a 'dead parrot'."

12. Birds are scary bastards. We raise German Shepherds and horses

and the scariest pet we have is this ten inch long conure. That little bastard bites like a motherfucker. The only person he tolerates is my husband. I think that is because my husband backhanded him one time.

14. Well, they say brids are descendants of dinosaurs, that they

can see the similarities fairly well. I guess this makes it even more clear.

17. This dinosaur could fly!
