Coco the Parrot with his book which has been published to money for the Edgemoor Group of Parishes. See SWNS story SWPLparrot. Meet the blogging PARROT that has thousands of readers in 40 countries - and is so popular it's now written a book. Coco the bird is owned by Richard Holloway who started taking his pet to local parish church meetings several years ago. Richard told churchgoers he wanted to start a Christian blog from the point of view of Coco - and the local reverend and bishop both agreed. Coco's blog was soon being read in more than 40 different countries spanning six different continents - with over 5,000 readers. Now Coco and Richard have written 'The Random Thoughts of a Christian Parrot' about morality and Christianity and is being sold to raise funds for a new outdoor church. It is full of ''everyday reflections, humorous anecdotes and biblical references''. The book is a compilation of 83 of the bird’s popular blog contributions and Zoom appearances in the group of 11 parishes in Exmoor in Devon over the past few years.
