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 remember reading somewhere that Winston Churchill had an African Grey, and that long after his death, the bird would still regularly curse hitler.

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.

Decades ago the Rialto pool hall in Albany had a myna bird that would say come on in you son of a bitch every time someone came in.

100% true.

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.

That bird has an absolutely raging case of hemorrhoids. Do something, man.
