A potty-mouthed parrot who was found wandering in the middle of a road told its rescuer to 'bugger off' and became angry with vets who were trying to look after it. See Ross Parry copy RPYPARROT.  The African grey parrot swore repeatedly at the unwitting member of the public when he tried to pick up the bird from the road in Guiseley, Leeds, West Yorks yesterday lunchtime (WED). The stowaway pet, whose gender and name are not known, was brought into the White Cross Vets in car, but hung on for dear life with its claws as it sat in the front seat, not wanting to be brought in for treatment.  It then went on the offensive and began attacking staff, but once the parrot calmed down and stopped its foul language, staff were able to send an ID number which was attached by a ring on its leg to a specialist team to try and track down the owner. Pictured with vet Hayley Thompson.

PIC FROM SHAWN STAMBACK / CATERS NEWS - (PICTURED: HUMPBACK WHALES EMERGE FROM WATER) - This is the incredible moment two divers were almost gobbled up by two HUMPBACK WHALES. The once in a lifetime encounter happened as the pair casually bobbed in the water at Souza Rock, two miles from Morro Bay in California, USA. Suddenly a ball of fish surrounded Shawn Stamback and Francis Antigua and began leaping out the water as the hungry predators swam towards them looking for dinner. The 40 ton beasts exploded out of the water just inches from Francis and as they splashed back below the surface the divers darted back to the safety of their boat. SEE CATERS COPY
