Pictured: Louise Bate of RMP Guarding with the parrots

What barks like a dog, says "fabulous" after a treat and hates aeroplane noise ?

Introducing Elvis and Cilla - a pair of green-winged Macaws who are on guard outside a Shropshire security firm.

Named after the King of rock n'roll and his wife, they are the pet parrots of Trevor and Louise Bate, who run RMP Guarding security firm at Stafford Park in Telford. The firm also run RMP Events providing security for large and small scale public events, along with marquees and entertainment such as bouncy castles, music, popcorn and candyfloss makers for fun days and birthday parties.

The feathered twosome, with red fronts and blue wings, are fast becoming an attraction in their cage to visitors and workers on the Stafford Park industrial estate.

"We brought them to work with us as it wasn't fair to leave them at home all day on their own. We spend most of our time at work and here is where they get lots of attention," said Louise.

"There are more people here and someone is always making a fuss of them."

Elvis (6) and Cilla (3) hate high pitched noises, squawk loudly when a plane flies overhead and repeat the word "fabulous" whenever they are given a treat.

Lousie is hopeful that the birds will breed - despite Elvis's lack of interest at the moment.

"They usually start breeding aged about four so Cilla has plenty of time yet. We are keeping our fingers crossed."
