A British wildlife sanctuary has been forced to separate five parrots who wouldn’t stop swearing at visitors.
Keepers say the birds encouraged each other to keep cursing, and had to be moved from the main outdoor aviary. Hilarious!

According to CBS News, the five parrots named Billy, Eric, Tyson, Jade and Elsie recently joined the Lincolnshire Wildlife Centre’s colony of 200 African grey parrots in August and were put in quarantine together and quickly overwhelmed the staff with their naughty language.
“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,” said the centre’s chief executive, Steve Nichols.
Nichols said that none of the zoo’s visitors complained about the parrots and most found them amusing.
However, keepers thought it would be ebay to keep them away from children so as not to ruffle any feathers. The parrots have been separated and moved to various different areas of the wildlife centre so they are unable to provoke each other.
Nichols added that the birds swear to trigger reaction or a response from people, so seeing people shocked or laughing will only encourage the birds to curse more.
How funny!
