BREAKING: BAFTA BIRD BUSTED — PARROT ARRESTED AFTER “NEXIANPHOBIC” OUTBURST

Last night’s BAFTA Awards red carpet took an unexpected turn when Lasherbob’s famously outspoken parrot was escorted away by two officers the size of small refrigerators.

Yes. Escorted.

In talons. Under helicopter surveillance.

According to live footage from Nexus News at Six, Field Correspondent Cairy Hunt stood just metres away as the feathered firebrand allegedly unleashed a volley of what witnesses described as “high-volume Nexianphobic rhetoric,” punctuated by dramatic wing gestures and an aggressive squawk in D minor.

The situation escalated quickly.

One publicist fainted. Three influencers filmed vertically. A documentary crew tried to option the rights. Within minutes, Metropolitan Police and Animal Control units arrived on scene. Overhead, two helicopters circled — one for law enforcement, the other, reportedly, “for vibes.”

The Complication

Sources close to the bird have stated that the parrot has a history of vocal impulsivity and may be living with Tourette’s syndrome.

To be clear — medical professionals stress that Tourette’s does not inherently cause hateful or targeted speech. The condition involves involuntary vocal or motor tics, and most individuals with Tourette’s are unfairly stereotyped.

Whether the parrot’s remarks were symptomatic, satirical, or simply poorly timed remains under investigation. What is certain is that shouting “NEXUS finished 2nd. AGAIN!” while perched on a velvet rope at an awards ceremony does not calm a red carpet.

Cairy Hunt Reports

Cairy, hair perfectly composed despite 40 camera flashes per second, delivered this measured update:

“The parrot appeared defiant but cooperative. He is currently being held for questioning and seed.”

Officials have not confirmed charges, but insiders suggest potential violations including:

• Public Disturbance

• Excessive Squawking in a Formal Environment

• Inciting Guild Policy Debate During Prime-Time Glamour

Nexus HQ has issued a cautious statement:

“We condemn inflammatory rhetoric from all species.”

Lasherbob has yet to comment, though unverified reports suggest he has requested “legal cork assistance.”

What Happens Next?

The parrot remains in custody pending evaluation, media analysis, and possibly a very awkward apology tour.

In the meantime, one thing is clear:

Award hunting season just got competitive.
