A park in the UK was forced to remove five new parrots from the public display area after they began swearing at guests.
Lincolnshare Wildlife Park management took in the birds on August 15th. As they spent time in quarantine together, it seems that they taught each other how to curse.
Steve Nichols, the park's executive officer, said that it was quite funny to the entire staff, which egged on the birds to curse more, per the Manchester Evening News.
As soon as the park was opened to guests, the birds starting yelling profanities, and then would would laugh about it.
“For the last 25 years, we have always taken in parrots that have sometimes had a bit of blue language and we have really got used to that. Every now and then you’ll get one that swears and it’s always funny. We always find it very comical when they do swear at you. But, just by coincidence, we took in five in the same week and because they were all quarantined together it meant that one room was just full of swearing birds. The more they swear the more you usually laugh which then triggers them to swear again." Nichols said.
The park was only open to the public for 20 minutes before the parrots started cursing at a customer. At first the staff found it funny, but soon, they realized that the curse words would soon be hurled at children and thus, removed the parrots from the public.
The birds are now separated into different groups in hopes that it will discourage their behavior.
