So the bird was able to count the policemen.
"But it's mainly naughty words and always to the wrong people. We're trying to teach him not to swear. Macaws are very intelligent birds."
Maybe *not* to the wrong people. "Macaws are very intelligent birds."
A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to "clean up" the bird's vocabulary.
Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder. John, in desperation, threw up his hand, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute.
Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said, "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior." John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude.
As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird continued, "May I ask what the turkey did?"
Winston Churchhill's Blue & Gold macaw had the same problem. When Winston passed away he had willed the bird, which he kept in his wartime office, back to the petstore owner he got the bird from. While back at the petstore, the bird would say things like; "F!@#ing nazi's" or "God dam Hitler". After being embarassed in front of customers from the birds mouth, he ended up taking the bird home with him.
BTW I've got one as well. I really have to start watching what I say around him anymore. He has picked up mf'er, sad to say.

Step Monster's birthday is coming up... he he he!!!
'E's just pining for the fjords.
While I was in college, a friend of mine had to take care of his girlfriends bird (I don't remember what kind). He taught it to say something new & when she returned the bird kept repeating "Terry has small tits". I thought it was hilarious...Terry was not as amused.
The perfect pet.
Bwahahahaahhhahah. I should get a parrot.
