Five Swearing Parrots Separated After Egging Each Other On

Uh-oh! Lincolnshire Wildlife Park had to separate five foul-mouthed parrots after they learned some colorful language and began to egg each other on to be offensive in from of visitors.

The five parrots in trouble are named Billy, Eric, Tyson, Jade, and Elsie. Actually, the five sound like a pretty cool crew. Too cool for us to join though, however. All five parrots joined the Lincolnshire Wildlife Centre of 200 grey parrots back in August. CEO of the wildlife park, Steve Nichols told PA, "We saw it very quickly; we are quite used to parrots swearing but we've never had five at the same time. Most parrots clam up outside, but for some reason, these five relish it."

The swearing parrots have been separated into different locations of the park so they wouldn't encourage each other and set one another off.

Steve Nichols also mentions that no one has actually complained about the swearing parrots, but many the decision to be cautious and wary of their young visitors.

"People have come to us, they think it's highly amusing, we haven't had one complaint. When a parrot tells tells you to f*** off it amuses people very highly. It's brought a big smile to a really hard year."

The parrots were adopted by the wildlife park in August and placed in quarantine together. They would swear to get a reaction or a response. Once someone laughed, it would encourage them to continue with the behavior.

"I'm hoping they learn different words within colonies - but if they teach the others bad language and I end up with 250 swearing birds, I don't know what we'll do," adds Steve Nichols.
