African Grey Parrots can be remarkable mimics. They will imitate whatever gets the most reaction. Some know just the right inflection and emphasis to put on certain vowels. You would ‘swear’ that the bird knows exactly what he’s saying.
Too expensive and too loud for me to own one, though.

Winston Churchill also had a foul-mouthed Macaw known as Charlie the Curser. It’s still alive (119 years old) and lives in a zoo in Surrey.

Back in the day, before I became allergic I kept a throng of parrots.
My late brother took great pleasure in addressing the cages while yelling “gay sex” and handing them treats.
His fun was only matched by my consternation.
Miss him greatly.

According to Churchill’s daughter, the parrot was never his. But, it is still one old bird.

Glad you mentioned Charlie whose most insightful phrase was spoken in Churchills voice: F**K HITLER!

Trump has Turban DeDurbin, which suffices as a lying dog. No swearing dog needed.

Whe I was very young there was a large grey parrot that lived at a small taxi stand office which had a small waiting room and a radio dispatcher behind a kiosk.
while you waited for a cab, the parrot would regale patrons with varied foul language sounding exactly like they were coming from a two way mobile radio speaker.

They do far more than mimick. They speak in context, knowing the meaning of the words. Even my Blue and Gold Macaw speaks in context, but Greys can have vocabularies over 2,000 words.
To say they merely mimick is quite laughable.

The WH “correspondents” in the Press gaggle should be replaced by a fowl mouthed parrot.

The Swearing Parrot
There was a man that received a parrot for his birthday. This parrot was fully grown with a bad attitude and worse vocabulary. Every other word was an expletive. Those that weren't expletives were, to say the least, rude.
The man tried hard to change the bird's attitude and was constantly saying polite words, playing soft music, anything he could of. Nothing worked. He yelled at the bird, and the bird got worse. He shook the bird and the bird got madder and ruder.
Finally, in a moment of desperation, he put the parrot in the freezer. For a few moments he heard the bird squawking and kicking and screaming, and then, suddenly, there was quiet. The man was frightened that he might have actually hurt the bird and quickly opened the freezer door.
The parrot calmly stepped out onto the man's extended arm and said:
"I'm sorry that I might have offended you with my language and actions and ask for your forgiveness. I will endeavour to correct my behavior."
The man was astounded at the bird's change in attitude and was about to ask what had changed him ... when the parrot continued:
"May I ask what the chicken did wrong?"

Years ago we had a neighbor who had built her house around a huge, glass enclosure designed for their mynah bird. My kids were charged with caring for that bird when the owners were out of town. Among his many talents, the mynah bird spoke in a Scottish brogue (owner was a Scot) and did a great imitation of the garbage disposal. After the first baby arrived, he did a perfect imitation of the newborn’s cries which caused a problem for the parents.
