  • 5 years ago
Englands patriotic parrot Slipmatt , who can whistle the theme to the 'Great Escape' shouts 'England' and 'Come on Rooney'. Move over Baddiel and Skinner and make way for a new "singer" who will surely ruffle a few feathers with his rendition of a famous football anthem. See NTI storey NTIPARROT. Slipmatt, an African grey parrot, will have football fans in a flap when they hear him squawk the theme from The Great Escape especially for the England team over in Brazil. The nine-year-old patriotic parrot also shouts "England" and cheers on his favourite player with shouts of "Come on Rooney". Owner Fran Sheridan, from Worcester, said the bird even sits happily on its perch to watch the Three Lions' games over in Brazil.
