Martin Duram's pet parrot watched as he was murdered by his wife, Glenna Duram, in 2015.

A woman has been found guilty of murdering her husband in the US, after a shooting apparently witnessed by the man's pet parrot.

The Evening Standard reports Glenna Duram, 49, will be sentenced on a charge of first-degree murder next month.

Duram, from the US state of Michigan, was found to have shot her husband, Martin Duram, five times before turning the gun on herself in a failed suicide attempt in May 2015, according to The Evening Standard.

FOX Weeks after the killing, Bud, then a 20-year-old African grey parrot, started repeatedly saying "don't f****** shoot" in his owner's voice, WOOD TV reported.

Last year, frustrated by a lack of progress in the case, the victim's family called for his pet parrot to be called as a witness, saying they were convinced it had seen the killing.

﻿Weeks after the killing, Bud, then a 20-year-old African grey parrot, started repeatedly saying "don't f****** shoot" in his owner's voice, WOOD TV reported.

Martin Duram's mother, Lilian Duram, said at the time the bird was repeating its owner's last words.

"That bird picks up everything and anything, and it's got the filthiest mouth around," she told WOOD TV in 2016.

​But while Bud may have helped police crack the case, he wasn't used in court.

According to The Evening Standard, a prosecutor briefly considered using his squawkings as evidence, but decided it was unlikely a bird could be called to testify.
