Robbers kill OAP's budgie
Burglars snapped the neck of an elderly women's pet budgie when she refused to hand over money.
The robbers had pushed he 78-year-old woman over as they forced their way into her home in Cardiff, Wales, demanding £100.
When she refused to give them the cash they threatened her with her own walking-stick before killing her pet budgie by snapping its neck in front of her.
They then searched her house stealing £150 before locking the old lady inside the house with her own keys.
Police say the men are white, in their 20s, spoke with a Cardiff accent ... they could also be fans of Monty Pythons Dead Parrot Sketch.
Detective Sergeant Stuart Wales of Cathays CID said: "This was a despicable crime on an elderly lady who is in poor health, where we believe these men have targeted her because of her age and because she lives on her own.
"The victim is deeply upset because not only has she been the victim of a crime, she has also lost her pet budgie, her soulmate, in a brutal and disturbing manner."
