A Scottish man received a shock when he had more than $900 stolen by a mischievous parrot while on holiday in New Zealand.

Peter Leach, a British Navy veteran, was driving around the countryside when he stopped his RV to take pictures of the South Island’s stunning scenery.

While parked on State Highway 73 by picturesque Arthur’s Pass, a light-beaked bird stole $1,100 New Zealand dollars — about $930 — from the vehicle’s dashboard. The 52-year-old victim only became aware of the crime after some nearby tourists pointed out what had happened.
