Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Radamel Falcao has a pet parrot called Coco that squawks "Gol de Falca" each time he scores.
The striker, on loan at Manchester United from Monaco, scored his first goal for the Old Trafford club on Sunday, the winning goal in the 2-1 victory over Everton, creating much joy for his flying friend.
Falcao's wife, Lorelei, 26, was quoted in The Sun as saying: "My parrot says, 'goal from Falca, great goal' and more."
And to further endear himself to the United faithful, Coco's green and yellow colours match the original colours of the original United back when the club was called Newton Heath.
The Colombian striker signed for United on loan in August, and reports claim that he will make his move permanent for £43m in January. How his neighbours must hope doesn't replicate the prolific form he showed in France.
