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?
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.

Consider yourself warned...
I knew a guy in college who watched his friend’s parrot for the summer. The parrot’s owner was a big Dodger fan so he taught the parrot to say “Dodgers suck, Dodgers suck.” His friend begrudgingly thought it was kind of funny initially until he realized that phrase had become the parrot’s favorite and the parrot said it all the time.
I wish I could afford an African Grey, and lived where their noise wouldn’t matter. They are top of the line talkers.
They need a lot of toys, attention and distractions, or there may be behavioral problems. If they get too bored, some regress and get grouchy, others may pull their feathers out.
I hear that the Cockatoo is the loudest of all.
President Andrew Jackson had an interesting one;

Sounds like my stepson and his friends when got to be about 11 years old.
They discovered swearing and it became like a beloved hobby.
They would just feed off each other.
OH STOP THAT. Parrots are remarkable birds. I used to visit them in the Miami Parrot Sanctuary before some hurricane wiped it out. Delightful to have them fly up to you and look into your eye, and say, “What’s your name?”
A local pet store has a few, but they were abused and are really difficult to live with. So incredibly sad.
We had a cockatoo that learned how to whistle for the dog. The dog would come running into the room where the cockatoo was and no one was there. The dog would growl at the bird and leave the room. This went on all the time and the dog would always go running.
