An Everett man was arrested Sunday after police said he stabbed his girlfriend's parrot to death.

Officers found the parrot's body with a fork in it after his girlfriend called 911.

The woman told police the two got into an argument over plans to have dinner with friends. The man had minor cuts on his hands and arms.

KIRO 7 news partner The Daily Herald in Everett reported the man refused to leave his cell at the Snohomish County Jail when called for a bail hearing. He faces charges of first-degree animal cruelty and second-degree malicious mischief.
