Man Hold up!  —  A coffee-drinking pet parrot is being blamed for an accident in Uniontown, Pennsylvania.  A wman driver was on a South Union Township road Tuesday when she noticed the bird pecking on the lid of her cup.  When she glanced down to brush him away, she struck the guardrail.  The driver suffered a broken arm but the bird was not injured.  Police say it is not illegal to have a bird in a vehicle, but advise drivers not to become distracted by their pets.
