Five foul-mouthed parrots had to be separated after encouraging each other to swear at a Lincolnshire zoo.
The parrots, named Billy, Eric, Tyson, Jade and Elsie, joined the Lincolnshire Wildlife Center’s colony of 200 gray parrots in August.
But it didn’t take them long to ruffle a bit with their foul language.
“We saw it very quickly; we are quite used to parrots cursing but we’ve never had five at the same time,” said Steve Nichols, executive director of the wildlife park.
“Most parrots are quiet outside, but for some reason these five enjoy it.”
Since then, the parrots have been distributed to different areas of the park so that they do not “get angry”.
Mr. Nichols explained that no one had complained about the parrots, but that they were separated for the sake of the young visitors in the hope that they could catch the natural calls of the other African gray parrots.
“People have come to us, they find it very funny, we have not had a single complaint,” he added.
“When a parrot tells you to fuck off, people have a lot of fun.
“It has brought a big smile to a really difficult year.”
The park is also home to the Chico Parrot, who made headlines in September after learning to sing a variety of pop songs, including Beyonce’s If I Were A Boy.
