Stockholm - A Swedish woman is taking her local pet shop to court for selling her a parrot that died after a couple of days - but the shop says it may just have been sleeping.

The woman had paid 4,900 crowns (£400) for the parrot. The shop owner refused to believe the parrot was dead, as the customer could not produce the body, having buried it. The owner said the bird might have been asleep.
