If the mother (where is the father, eh?) had a SHRED of decency, she should have never brought charges, or had them dropped, and she should THANK the guy for helping discipline her worthless juvenile delinquent.

I can picture me as a kid, coming across a parrot and trying to get it to cuss, LOL. Hell, I can picture me doing the same thing now, for that matter.
Where is your sense of mischief?
To: Paul Ross
admitting he did egg the bird on. Oh they're cracking me up here. But seriesly folks, I know parrots and $13k for a bird is way outta lion.

Yeah, but "shoot" and "durn it" just didn't get people's attention. Even my grand fathers occasional "dad burn it" failed to shock.

"My feet were just kicking, trying to get away," Matthew told the paper, saying he was scared but not hurt. Case dismissed.

Where is your sense of mischief? I got smacked for my mischief when I was a kid.
But sometimes it was worth it.

I want one, but my wife won't let me have one.
To: steveo
Sparky had never previously uttered any fowl language Years ago I went into a pet shop that was housed in a very old Victorian house, very large, lots of rooms. I couldn't find any humans to help me and was waiting around for some help when I heard this "voice" that sounded like a deep-voiced radio announcer. The "voice" said, "Hello. My name is George. Do you want me to hurt you?" Then the voice started singing Happy Birthday in a very slow, deep, dark and scary manner.
Needless to say, I froze and looked around to see where the voice was coming from, but no one was there. Just as I was about to make a fast exit, a man came down the stairs. I said "were you just singing Happy Birthday?" "No," he laughed. "That was George;" he pointed to a small black mynah bird. Then he told me that George has about eight "voices". LOL!

My elder daughter had one that would mimic the sound of the alarm clock. It finally passed away. Quietly, in it's sleep.

Was the parrot nailed to its perch or pineing for the fjords?

It was a six year-old green-wing macaw, probably hand-raised. What do those run?

The bird will live for decades, and might not ever stop cussing.
Where would your sense of mischief be if someone keyed the F-word on your car door? After all, the paint job would probably cost less than the bird.
To: Paul Ross
The guy was doing the kid a favor. A spanking at an early age is a quick way to learn manners and build character.
I can still remember the taste of soap when, as a child, I slipped in an inappropriate word at the dinner table. The punishment for that faux pas was swift and well remembered. I never did that again.
