The Case of The Perjured Parrot

Another case for Perry Mason and his usual team - Della Street, his secretary, and Paul Drake, a detective that Mason uses for gathering information on cases. This one concerns the murder of a wealthy industrialist in his mountain cabin. He was in the middle of a divorce from his wife, and, thinking that it was final, had married a librarian with whom he had fallen in love on a fast trip to Mexico. What makes the case so interesting is the presence of a parrot, the pet of the murdered man, who keeps saying, “Put the gun down, Helen. Ah...you’ve shot me!”
