Parrots are recognized for being able to mimic humans’ speech by repeating words or singing tunes. Unlike most others of their kind, though, five African gray parrots at Lincolnshire Wildlife Park have learned to spew vulgarities especially when visitors were around.
The five parrots, Billy, Elsie, Eric, Jade, and Tyson, were adopted by the zoo back in August. Somehow, they have all learned vulgarities and started to say it in front of its visitors. Thankfully, no one was offended by the crude words as they found humor in the situation.
The trainers at the zoo understand that the parrots will continue cursing if they receive responses by the visitors. So, they have decided to give the mouthy parrots time-out separately from each other in order for them to forget the words.
Meet the parrots with potty mouths below.
