Pollly Wants a [censored]? Swearing Parrots Removed From English Park

Featured Replies

 

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.

Weeks after the parrots were separated and kept away from the public, park employees recently put them on display again — but the potty-mouthed flock went right back into it.
“Literally within 20 minutes of being in the introductory we were told that they had sworn at a customer and for the next group of people, all sorts of obscenities came out,” Nichols said.

The birds have now been put in an enclosure away from visitors and will be split up again so that “at least if they do swear, it is not as bad as three or four of them all blasting it out at once,” he Lincolnshire Live.

Nichols explained that all five birds are African gray parrots and can easily learn words and general sounds.

His park has seen an influx of parrot donations during the coronavirus pandemic.

“We would normally take in one or two parrots in a fortnight. Today we took in eight,” he told CNN.

This is the second time in recent weeks that the park makes headlines because of a talented bird. A parrot named Chico went viral over the summer with his version of Beyoncé's “If I Were a Boy,” which earned him his own Instagram page.
