A PARROT has helped put a woman behind bars after constantly impersonating her murdered husband pleading for his life.

Bud the African Grey provided key evidence in the trial after repeating the words "don't shoot" in the victim's voice.

Glenna Duram shot her husband Martin five times in front of their pet in 2015, before failing in a suicide attempt.

The 49-year-old of Sand Lake, Michigan, was found guilty of of first degree murder and is set to be sentenced next month.

Martin’s ex-wife Christina Keller, who now looks after Bud, previously said the parrot had been repeating a conversation from the night of the murder – ending with “don’t shoot!”

After his shocking death, the couple’s pet parrot started repeating a loud, expletive-ridden row between a male and a female.

He screeched the words “get out” and “where will I go?”

And then, in what family believes were Martin’s last words, the swearing parrot also repeated: “Don’t f****** shoot.”

Christine said at the time: “I believe with all my heart that those are the last words of Marty.

“I recognise two different voices screaming and yelling and it always ends with ‘don’t f****** shoot’.”

Martin’s mother Lillian Duram said: “That bird picks up everything and anything and it's got the filthiest mouth around.”

Bud was not directly involved in any court proceedings.
