Foul-mouthed British parrot banished by embarrassed keepers
Tue Jul 26, 3:36 PM ET
A foul-mouthed parrot previously owned by a lorry driver has been
banished from public areas in a British animal sanctuary after
repeatedly embarrassing his keepers, they said.
Barney, a five-year-old Macaw, is now kept indoors at Warwickshire
Animal Sanctuary in Nuneaton, central England, when outsiders visit
after abusing dignitaries with swearword-littered insults.
"He's told a lady mayoress to f..(expletive) off and he told a lady
vicar: 'And you can f... off as well'," sanctuary worker Stacey Clark said.
Nor did the forces of law and order escape, she added.
"Two policemen came to have a look at the centre. He told them: 'And you
can f... off you two wankers'."
Clark said sanctuary workers believed Barney either picked up the
phrases from television or was taught them by his previous owner, a
lorry driver who emigrated to Spain.
"He does say 'Hello, big boy' and 'Thank you' when you give him a
biscuit," she added.
"But it's mainly naughty words and always to the wrong people. We're
trying to teach him not to swear. Macaws are very intelligent birds."

There was a swearing parrot at the Bowmanville Zoo! They even used to
mention in their brochure that he might be offensive if he got on a roll!
Don't know if he is still there...they kept him in the beer tent, away from
the kiddies.
I worked with a guy who volunteered there and he claimed to have taught him
everything he knew...who knows?

figures .....
