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.

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

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.

From what I understand, the bit about the bird still being alive is one of those urban myths. Sadly.
