Koko B Ware and Frankie
Does any know where Koko got the bird from? And did Frankie ever talk in the WWF?

WWE.com: Your parrot Frankie was a huge part of your career. Can you bring WWE fans up to speed on what happened to him?
Koko B. Ware: It was about four years ago. We were getting ready to move to a bigger place, so we were renting a home in Tennessee. We went to church with the kids that morning, and 45 minutes later the Deacon comes over and says you need to go home because your house is on fire. We get back home and it was a disaster. The fire trucks were there but we lost everything. It was faulty wiring. One of the firefighters even apologized because he said he couldn’t save my kid. He had heard a voice saying “Get me out of here,” but it was Frankie, of course. He was trying to get out of the cage. Still, it was like losing a kid. The fireman gave him back to me in a garbage bag. I never opened it. I grabbed a shovel, took him to the backyard, said a little prayer and buried him right there. I had him for about 15 years.

I always thought Frankie said "You suck, Koko, AWK, (wing flap)".

I remember hearing about Frankie. Its a very sad thing. Sometimes pets are just as loved and important as children. I can understand how Koko felt
