Greetings Dave!
  London -- Neat trick. Stupid pet.
  The Victoria Park bowling club banished Henry the parrot from its
  grounds on Friday because the bird had picked up an unnerving knack
  for unflattering commentary.
  After shots, he would cry out "No!" and "You're a yard short", said
  club secretary Eric Slater. At other times, he would cackle -- or sob.
  Members of the lawn-bowl club in Leamington Spa, central England,
  welcomed Ralph Shakespeare's green Amazonian when the former national
  team member first brought him to matches last year.
  But when the 25-year old bird picked up some members annoying habits
  and timing, the club felt it was time to go.
  "We had objections about the bird, so the commitee had barred him from
  the club," Mr Slater said "Visiting teams didn't find it funny."
