A life-sized taxidermy parrot has been placed in a massive pothole after locals became fed up with it not being fixed.

The black and blue parrot can be seen sat on a branch coming out of the pothole, on the B1051 turning to Pledgdon Green, Essex. Next to its new home can be seen traffic cones and part of a road sign adding to the debris by the side of the road near the village of Henham.

The bird was placed there by a nearby resident as locals are becoming fed up that the crater has been not fixed by the authorities. The bird has brought a lot of laugher to the issue and has since been nicknamed "the pothole parrot of Pledgdon".
