Swearing parrots removed from view after blasting 'all sorts of obscenities' at park visitors

These parrots are so over 2020.

A British wildlife park had to remove five newly adopted parrots from public view after they repeatedly shouted profanities at visitors, park officials said Monday.

The foul-mouthed birds were initially quarantined in the same room after being adopted last month by Lincolnshire Wildlife Park in eastern England, local news outlets reported. But employees soon learned the animals were all prone to swearing and decided to split them up, said the park’s chief executive officer, Steve Nichols.

“The more they swear the more you usually laugh which then triggers them to swear again,” he told Lincolnshire Live.

“But when you get four or five together that have learned the swearing, and naturally learned the laughing, so when one swears, one laughs and before you know it just got to be like an old working men’s' club scenario where they are all just swearing and laughing,” he said.

I probably would start laughing too.

Wouldn't it be a kick to rent out their area for parties? Maybe a fundraiser? I think the idea of having a party amid swearing parrots would be fun.

why my god-damned macaw swears so fucking much. He told the nice vet tech "Fuck you, you fucking fuck".

That's not as bad as the fact that 18 years ago I forgetfully grabbed a cast iron skillet I'd taken out of the broiler a moment before. The *LOUD* scream and profanity following this is still as much a part of his repertoire as the disgusting sniffle/hack/sniffle my wife had 20 years ago.
