Parrots in wildlife park moved after swearing at visitors

Well, we know which parrot is a DLer.

BTW- what is a t**t?

Is tart a curse word in London? Maybe it was supposed to be c** t? Idk...

Could be twat not tart.

Have some of you never heard of a TWAT? It’s where we all came from, after all.

I wasn't there. Maybe those people deserved it

Now this is a bird I'd happily take care of.

People shouldn’t be adapting parrots. They’re a lot of work, similar to a toddler but a toddler that can swear like a sailor. I have a small bird that was given to me by someone that couldn’t keep her, and I’m a good pet owner. But most people wouldn’t be able to do it. Mine only likes me and a few other hand picked humans and despises everyone else.

My friend had a parrot that kept stealing socks off washing lines in the neighborhood. He used to drag and them home then try and shag them. He was a high maintenance drama queen as well. Funniest bird ever.

A friend kept trying to train his hag's parrot to swear whenever she wasn't in the room. Didn't work until months later "Fuck you, Marianne" seemed to be all the bird wanted to say

My neighbors keep a very large parrot on their front porch - he has a huge cage that they leave open and he hangs out on the outside of it. He makes rude comments, usually swearing, at people who walk by and it is endlessly entertaining to me.

These birds are hilarious. They amuse the way they change their voices depending on whomever taught them a specific expression.

"whomever taught them a specific expression"

Oh, dear!

Give me points for trying, svp. I'm Spanish.

Years ago, in college, I worked at a pet store. The parrots were so much fun. Highly intelligent creatures.

I was taught how to clip a bird’s wing so it can’t fully fly, but can glide safely. You have to be careful when you’re clipping, or you can hurt the bird. Someone brought their African Grey in, and the manager training me gently laid the bird on its back. I extended a wing, opened the scissors, and suddenly the fucking bird screamed, “Jesus, she’s trying to kill me!!! I nearly peed my pants, the voice was so human. I couldn’t continue after that. Someone else had to finish.

The bird’s owner just laughed and said, “My husband says that all the time!”

A guy I dated years ago had a Cockatoo that was great fun. Every night about 10 PM he'd shout "Go to bed! GO TO BED!"
