Foul mouthed parrots placed in solitary

A group of parrots at a UK zoo have been removed after repeating obscene language at visitors.

Lincolnshire Wildlife Park received the five African grey parrots back in August and quarantined them together in the same room, Lincolnshire Live reported. However, the close proximity seemed to have brought out the worst in the birds.


quote:

After the brief quarantine, the birds were put out for view of guests, assuming the cussing would subside. Though “within 20 minutes” the birds were up to their old tricks.
“Literally within 20 minutes of being in the introductory, we were told that they had sworn at a customer, and for the next group of people, all sorts of obscenities came out,” Nichols told Lincolnshire Live.



I wonder if they swear with a British accent?

Doesn't tell us what fricking obscenities the parrots were saying? That's like posting about a chick here with no pics.

Do they curse in Cockney rhyming slang?

"Polly wants a cracker" should not be offensive

My wife has one of those. I didn't teach him to curse but I did teach him to make farting noises. My wife really was really happy about that.


This is ours

This reminds me of Andrew Jackson's African Grey parrot.

quote:

Volume 3 of “Andrew Jackson and Early Tennessee History” cites Reverend William Menefee Norment, who presided at Jackson’s funeral:

“Before the sermon and while the crowd was gathering, a wicked parrot that was a household pet got excited and commenced swearing so loud and long as to disturb the people and had to be carried from the house.”

I once knew a guy who had one of these birds. It would hide under the furniture and try to bite your feet when you walked by. Or it would throw up on your feet if you were just sitting there. It cursed and said the n word, too, in his voice. It was a creepy putrid little creature.

Did they have a social worker discuss the issues with them before taking this drastic step?

Andrew Jackson’s parrot was supposedly notorious for cursing.
