LONDON — A British zoo has separated five foul-mouthed parrots who keepers say have been encouraging one another to swear. Billy, Eric, Tyson, Jade and Elsie joined Lincolnshire Wildlife Centre’s colony of 200 gray parrots in August, and soon revealed a penchant for blue language.
“We are quite used to parrots swearing, but we’ve never had five at the same time,” said the zoo’s chief executive, Steve Nichols. “Most parrots clam up outside, but for some reason these five relish it.”

Hahahahahaha....I love it!
THE PARROT
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. In
desperation, John threw up his hands, 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 changein
his behavior, when the bird continued, “May I ask what the turkey did?”
Kinda doubt that was their take on it
Can’t get the video.
Has Biden been visiting the zoo?
My grandmother had a parrot, when I was a young child. Occasionally the parrot would go off on what must have been arguments between my grandma and grandpa. She would always hurry up and cover the cage, when he started talking like that.
One of my church friends is in the parrot rescue and rehoming business. Her group has rescued birds with awful vocabularies from the most unexpected places.
Is it now forbidden to call them African Grays?
Pining for the fjords?
“Polly want a cracker” is no longer allowed as Parr of their repertoire
In high school a friend’s parents often left him alone on weekends with a strict warning of no parties. which was always ignored.
He’d get busted When they came home and heard the Cockatoo cussing up a storm.
LOL.......
Good one. Never heard that one.
LOL!
I’d say in the case of these 5 rogue parrots, the visitors probably thought it was funny so they just started playing to the crowd.
Funny!
When I was copping in 1973, got a call about a domestic disturbance. As I hit the porch, I heard “Asshole, Asshole” “ Die, dammit, die”. I banged on the door, no response. Heard it again, so I kicked in the door. Me and a parrot and a CAT were the only ones in the room. The people, after work, said they got the parrot as a refuge pet and he has embarrassed them before. My buddy fixed the door although the people didn’t need me to.
Those poor parrots! Whoever it was who taught the birds those words is the one who ought to bear the penalty, not Billy, Eric, Tyson, Jade and Elsie.
