5 African gray parrots had been united by destiny. They had been previously all home pets, and every got here from a distinct family.
They had been all gathered by the Lincolnshire Wildlife Park. And, as they are saying… birds of a feather… all of them turned out to be extraordinarily foul-mouthed – or is it fowl-mouthed?
Some say these birds want to scrub their beaks out with cleaning soap.
Now, the park has hatched new plan to cease their potty-mouthed parrots – who are actually eight – from cursing, telling zoo guests to “f*** off.”

“Lincolnshire Wildlife Park revealed they’re taking eight cuss-happy African Gray parrots — together with 5 who went viral in 2020 — and grouping them with 92 “non-swearing” birds to enhance their language.
‘I’m hoping, above the final noise of the flock, the swearing can be drowned out’, the park’s chief govt Steve Nichols informed [the press].
‘Once we got here to maneuver them, the language that got here out of their carrying bins was phenomenal, actually dangerous. Not regular swear phrases, these had been correct expletives’.”
However the folks accountable for the birds are conscious of a possible grave hazard: if all goes unsuitable, Lincolnshire Wildlife Park might find yourself having 100 cussing parrots!
African Gray parrots are identified for his or her acute cognitive talents (equal to a 5 yr previous human) and spectacular talent to imitate speech.
“’Six of them have gotten males’s voices, two of them have gotten women’ voices and after they’re all swearing it does sound actually dangerous’, Nichols stated.”
The 5 birds had been quarantined collectively as a result of draconian lockdown mandates.
They one way or the other taught one another ‘a variety of curse phrases and expletive phrases’.
“’Individuals have come to us however they suppose it’s extremely amusing, we haven’t had one criticism’, Nichols informed The Guardian in 2020. ‘When a parrot tells you to f—okay off, it amuses folks very extremely. It’s introduced an enormous smile to a very laborious yr’.”
Now, these eight birds are nonetheless swearing like sailors, and should endure the newest experiment to attempt to cease the cursing utterly.
Or else, there’ll 100 loopy parrots cursing suddenly.
