Council 'sick as a parrot'
An animal welfare worker has claimed victory after the sale of birds as pets at a Parrot Society show in Stafford was ruled unlawful in a High Court test case.
The decision, which has implications for similar shows up and down the country, was a victory for animal welfare worker Malcolm Haynes.
Mr Haynes, from Great Wyrley, had challenged Stafford Borough Council's decision to allow pet sales at the Parrot Society UK's show, held last October at the Stafford county showground.
