A pet parrot accidentally poisoned three dogs by mimicking their owner's voice and feeding them grapes, which is poisonous to canines.
日前，一只宠物鹦鹉通过模仿主人的声音引来小狗并喂它们吃了会令其中毒的葡萄，最终使三只小狗意外中毒。
Grapes contain a substance which can cause acute renal failure in dogs, and can quickly kill them.
葡萄中含有一种会导致狗严重肾衰竭的物质，并很容易快速致死。
The parrot threw the fruit to the dogs while Mrs. Finch was out with her family for the afternoon. When she arrived home, the three dogs had already become unwell.
在主人芬奇夫人午后出门时，这只鹦鹉把水果扔给了小狗们吃。而当她回到家时，这三只小狗已经开始不对劲。
Mrs. Finch noticed a bunch of grapes was missing from the fruit bowl and, realising what had happened, quickly rushed all three dogs to Portland Vets.
当芬奇夫人发现一串葡萄从果盘中消失了以后，她就明白事情是怎么回事了，于是她迅速带着三只小狗赶往波特兰宠物医院。
The housewife said: 'Peaches flies freely around the house but returns to her cage when I'm not home. She's a fantastic mimic and she must have called each dog over by name to be fed and then dropped the grapes in front of them from her cage.'
这位家庭主妇表示：“Peaches（这只鹦鹉）平时在家里随便飞，但我不在家时她会回到自己的笼子里去。她很擅长模仿，所以她一定是喊着每只狗的名字，把它们引过来吃东西，然后又从笼子里把葡萄丢到它们面前。”
'It was a worrying time while they were being treated but I'm so grateful to the team at Portland Vets and it's great to have them safely home. Grapes are now banned from the house.'
“三只狗接受治疗时我十分担心，但是好在最后它们平安回家了，我非常感谢波特兰宠物医院的医疗团队。从今以后家里禁止再买葡萄。”
Vet Anna Garvey, who treated the dogs at Portland Vets, said: 'In cases of poisoning, speed of response is really important so Mrs. Finch did the right thing coming to us quickly. It meant we could flush out most of the toxins before they had a chance to cause serious harm to the dogs.'
给小狗提供治疗的波特兰宠物医院兽医安娜·加维说道：“在中毒的情况下，反应的速度是非常重要的，芬奇夫人第一时间来我们这里是正确的选择。这意味着我们在毒液对狗狗造成严重伤害前，就可以把大部分有毒物质都冲出来。”
