Sparky the parrot’s human loved her dearly. But one day, after he allowed two drunken friends to stay at his home, all of that fell to pieces.

He left to complete shopping errands, and when he returned, he found they’d sadistically tortured and killed his beloved friend.

The details are gruesome. After Sparky’s human came back home, he noticed Sparky inside her cage, head limp and eyes glassy and unresponsive. Terrified, he rushed to inspect the bird closer. That’s when he learned what his former “friends” had done to her.

In his absence, they covered the African grey parrot with hazardous chemicals, including heavy-duty oven cleaning spray, metal polish, furniture polish, and finally glossy paint. But their cruelty didn’t end there.

That’s when the women tried to feed poor Sparky the bird to a dog. When that didn’t kill the animal, they struck her with a towel, then turned on a tumble dryer for clothes and tossed the parrot inside. She was still alive by the end of the cycle, “gasping [her] last breath.”

That’s when one of the friends reached out and strangled the pet.
