https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/08/13/stranded-potty-mouthed-parrot-greets-firefighters-four-letter/A stranded parrot turned the air blue when it verbally abused a crew of firefighters who had came to rescue it from a roof.

The efforts by Green Watch from Edmonton station to charm the misbehaving bird went smoothly at first, and she responded positively, telling her would-be rescuer that she loved him back.
But, Jessie soon launched a foul-mouthed tirade against the fire crew, telling the fighter fighters to f*** off.
We then discovered that she had a bit of a foul mouth and kept swearing, much to our amusement, said Mr Swallow.

(1,474 posts)My grandfather had COPD and would cough and wheeze for extended periods of time. My parents and I were at a party they were having - maybe 20 people. The parrot began to imitate his cough perfectly. It then went in a perfect imitation of his young trophy wife's voice "Bill shut the fuck up. You and your goddamn coughing are disgusting. SHUT THE FUCK UP!". The people at the party became very quiet before breaking into hysterical laughter.

(9,130 posts)A large swath of the town was simply wiped clean. One guy who was affected was named Floyd Biney. Floyd had a mynah bird that was kept on a perch in the living room. When the tornado came, Floyd retreated to the basement, but forgot the bird. He came up to find his house destroyed, the roof gone, and most of the walls down. However, he heard a muttering from the place where the living room once stood. As he got closer, he saw the mynah bird, still on its perch, but now without feathers, and saying over and over, "Floyd, you son-of a-bitch. Floyd,you son-of-a-bitch, Floyd . . "
