Parrots had to be removed from zoo after teaching each other to swear | Metro News
A group of foul-mouthed parrots had to be removed from their zoo enclosure after they started swearing at visitors. The newly adopted parrots were quarantined in the same room after arriving at Lincolnshire Wildlife Park last month. But it appears they used their time in isolation to teach other swear words and emerged sounding like an ‘old working men’s club’. The park’s chief executive said staff couldn’t help but laugh when they heard them swearing, but this only encouraged the five African grey parrots. Steve Nichols said they were temporarily removed from public view and put in ‘time out’ to think about their behaviour. ‘For the last 25 years, we have always taken in parrots that have sometimes had a bit of blue language and we have really got used to that,’ he said. ‘Every now and then you’ll get one that swears and it’s always funny. We always find it very comical when they do swear at you. But, just by coincidence, we took in five in the same week and because they were all quarantined together it meant that one room was just full of swearing birds.’
Fowl language about Trump was common apparently (or could be so)
