Adult Parrots

Or are they juvenile parrots? Whatever the case may be, a group of African gray parrots in a wildlife park in Lincolnshire, England ‘somehow’ learned to swear. Caretakers that heard one of them swearing laughed at the parrots, encouraging the bird to keep doing it. Other parrots in the group saw this and started to do the same thing. The safari park ended up with a room full of parrots blasting out obscenities to the unsuspecting visitors. The more they sweared, the more people laughed, triggering the birds to swear more. Visitors described the parrot habitat as “an old working men’s club scenario where they are all just swearing and laughing”.

the swearing parrots where removed from the flock (5 out of a flock of 1500). Happy Hunning!
