Foul-mouth parrot mimics Churchill's wartime thoughts
|
 |
LONDON (AFP) - The inner thoughts of Britain's wartime leader Winston Churchill live on, thanks to the foul mouth of his 104-year-old parrot who lives at a garden centre in southeast England.
"F*** Hitler! F*** the Nazis!" says Charlie, a female blue and gold macaw which Churchill bought in 1937, two years before the outbreak of World War II in Europe.
"Parrots are remarkably adept at mimicking sounds and voices," says an article about Charlie in the February issue of Jack, a British men's magazine, which hits the newsstands on Thursday.
"So when Charlie gives her opinion of the National Socialist German Workers' Party, it is rendered with a Churchillian inflection," it said.
Following Churchill's death in 1965, Charlie was sold to pet shop owner Peter Oram, who keeps her at the garden centre in Reigate, Surrey, where she wanders around the grounds in summer but stays indoors in the winter.
"She is a very old parrot," Sylvia Martin, who works with Oram, told Jack. "She has become increasingly quarrelsome -- and, if the truth be told, is now looking a little scruffy."

When I am 103, I fully intend to be old, quarrelsome, and scruffy.

I wonder if it refers to Ramsey MacDonald as "The Boneless Wonder."

If that bird is still alive when I make it to Ireland and England, I'm going to have to pay a visit.

Someone needs to get a recording device in this august parrot's presence before it's too late.

Good story.
I posted it twice yesterday and it got pulled by mods both times.
But the mods have no problem with "Man Shoots Off Own Testicle."

But the London-area man was forced to remove the bird from the shop after she kept swearing at children. Maybe one of the candidates wants to buy him?

Maybe we could teach the bird to say "Clinton" and have it be a keynote speaker at the GOP convention.

[oops... I guess he chopped it off, not shot it off.]
Thanks. I hate to miss a self-emasculation thread.

Does this mean the FCC should allow the use of the word?
