Five parrots removed from wildlife park for constantly swearing at customers

‘Fuck off’ – those parrots, presumably

Five parrots have been temporarily removed from public view at the Lincolnshire Wildlife Park for constantly swearing at customers.

The newly adopted parrots arrived at the park on August 15, according to Lincolnshire Live, and quarantined together.

Quarantining with people (or parrots) you don’t like can be a nightmare, but they thankfully discovered that they had one common hobby: swearing incessantly.

Understandably, the staff found it incredibly funny, but nonetheless the parrots were eventually put out on display. In news that will shock no one, they continued to swear, but this time at customers.

“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,” the park’s chief executive Steve Nichols said.

“And for one of our young girls they really gave her some abuse.

“We found it highly amusing and the customers were fine – they were no problem at all.

“But we worried because we had a weekend coming up and children coming.”

After failing their initial test of decorum, the parrots have now been placed away from the public in the hope that they learn some manners.

Nichols said: “We put them in an off-shore enclosure with the intention that hopefully they will start learning the other parrot’s noise that are around.”
