THIS is the moment a squawking parrot named Mango helped bring down a massive drug operation.

The pet was captured on video saying “two for 25” – a reference to a street deal price for crack cocaine.

Mango was also filmed playing with cash the gang had made from their operation.

The videos were discovered on a phone belonging to Shannon Hilton, whose boyfriend Adam Garnett was in jail.

Garnett had been running the network from his prison cell using smuggled phones and Wi-Fi routers.

Hilton was also filmed making video calls to her lag lover while blocks of cocaine could be seen in the background.

The couple were among 15 members of the gang jailed for a total of 103 years after they admitted drug offences.

Preston Crown Court heard Garnett kept in touch with his associates despite already being behind bars.

The criminal group conducted operations throughout Blackpool from February 2023 to July 2024, distributing Class A and B drugs, including heroin, crack cocaine, cannabis, and ketamine.

When officers launched a probe, they discovered the incriminating footage on Hilton’s phone.

This included her teaching Mango to say the drug lingo while children were present and a clip of the bird counting its owner’s ill-gotten gains.

Clips from other gang members showed raps about drug money, stashes of heroin and ketamine and large sums of cash being flaunted.

Officers raided their homes and discovered large quantities of drugs, cash, and phones all linking the gang to one another.

Garnett was jailed for 19 years and six months after admitting two counts of conspiring to supply class A drugs.

Girlfriend Hilton was jailed for 12 years for two counts of conspiracy to supply class A drugs and possession with intent to supply Class B drugs.

Blackpool Police said: “What’s the most talented thing your pet can do? Sit? Give paw? How about speak?

“A dealer’s parrot amusingly learned to repeat ‘two for 25’ – a phrase that became common among the organized crime group led by her boyfriend. Certainly not something you want your parrot to say when law enforcement arrives!

“Just last week, they, along with thirteen accomplices, received sentences totaling over 103 years. While Mango, the parrot, frolicked with the ill-gotten gains, the gang members boasted about their drug activities in rap verses, celebrating their illicit antics.”
