Freddie was first brought to the zoo about four years ago, having been severely injured in a shootout between police and gangsters during a raid on the drug den where he had lived with his villain owner.
“In the shootout, [Freddie] was hit in the upper-beak … blinded and suffered burns to the feathers that grow between the eyes,” the Folha de São Paulo reported.
Freddie’s ordeal was far from over. Earlier this month, the parrot was reportedly bitten on the leg by a snake – thankfully of a non-venomous variety.
Freddie bled profusely but survived, only to be stolen days later when three armed raiders burst into Cascavel’s zoo, overpowered its security guard and made off with two parrots and a cylinder of gas.
Two days later, however, Freddie returned, discovered by zoo staff at the foot of a pine tree beside his cage.

..Breaking into a zoo to steal parrots and gas?
After a quick google search it seems that Amazona aestiva cost around 500-1000 USD
"The details of Freddie’s comeback remain murky, although drops of blood found near his former abode have fuelled speculation that the notoriously aggressive parrot bit his way out."
I don't think Snake knows CQB well enough to beat someone called Freddy Krueger.
