So this guy brings home a parrot one day from the pet store for his family to enjoy.

After about 2 weeks they all notice the parrot says nothing but cuss words. "gawk... fark you, fark me, fark all of ya'll"

After about 1 more week of this profanity the guy grabs the parrot and says, "look, watch your mouth, I'm getting tired of all the foul language!"

the parrot repies, "gawk, fark you fark me, fark all of ya'll!"

so the guy tosses the parrot into the freezer out of rage.

about a minute and after calming down the guy opens up the freezer and asks the parrot if he learned his lesson.

the parrot says, "yes sir, good day isn't it sir? will never happen again sir, I'm sorry."

shocked the guy grabs the parrot, sits him back on his perch, then tells the parrot "good boy... but why the sudden change of heart?"

The parrot replies, "are you kidding?! I don't want to end up like that farkING CHICKEN!"

Swearing birds are awesome. My dad had an Amazon who could say "cabron" and "puto" (Dad and bird retired to Mexico and moved conveniently close to an elementary school).

/if the zoo doesn't want their bird, i'll take it

 
Toshiro Mifune's Letter Opener [TotalFark] 2008-09-14 07:24:26 PM  
Considering the bird's swearing and the fact that he "also mimics car alarms and mobile phone ringtones, that's all sorts of awesome.

They should teach him limericks and a whole stand-up routine while they're at it, too.

I bet I can guess what would be the next addition to his routine if YOU ever visited that zoo...

I saw a parrot in a pet store that said "I don't wanna go."

True story.

I liked the picture of the dim-witted bird that repeats annoying trash.

But enough about Sarah Palin.

Keeper Peter Hansom at South Park birdhouse in Darlington, Co Durham, blamed local school-children for teaching Max the obscenity.

I found that HYSTERICAL.

They should introduce him to that parrot on the Royal Navy ship. That bird swore enough that they had to take him off when the Queen visited.

I've got a few ravens whom I feed regularly at my house. I think it would be cool to play a looping tape saying "The End is near! You will all die, and we will feast on you!"
/just picture that Jehovah's Witness type on her next set of rounds...

It might as well be.

Nine out of ten swearing parrots approve.

Ouch.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA

 
cynicalbastard 2008-09-14 07:54:59 PM  
I should say that these aren't really "my" ravens per se, they are just wild ravens who found out that I'm a sucker for feeding birds.
And man, you should hear the early morning racket when I forget.

Their flash video thingy at the top displayed a picture of a McLaren SLR. I didn't know Government auctions were so nice.

"35 dollars looking for 40, 35 dollarslookingforforty going once...twice...sold! to paddle number 256, who will take this gorgeous 80's dinette set...
Alrighty folks lets move on... our next item is a 2007 McLaren SLR..."

Posting that should qualify as a crime against humanity, or at least against my ear drums.

His swearing was something to crow about... right before he chickened out.

*takes a bow*

I'm here all week. Enjoy the veal. (At least that doesn't swear at people.)

This pet store I used to work at had a blue and gold macaw that had a better vocabulary that some people I know.

Every once in a while he'd swing back and forth on his swing saying "Farker farker farker farker..." (the unedited word, of course) usually when there were lots of little old ladies standing by his cage.

I miss that bird.

one of my friends had a pair of African Greys. when the male would scream, the female would yell back "SHUT UP! SHUT THE F*CK UP! i'm gonna cover you. I'M GONNA COVER YOU UP!"

if you raised the volume on the TV she start yelling "turn it down! turn it the f*ck down!"

she'd mutter f*ck and random variations of the word when she got bored. Sugar loved to swear.

A church lady bought a parrot. She took it home and the first thing the bird said was "Hi. My name is Sally. I like to F***. Let's get it on!"

Distraught, she tried to teach the bird other phrases but the parrot could only say "Hi. My name is Sally. I like to F***. Let's get it on!" In desperation, she told her pastor about it. He said "No problem. I have two parrots. They both are very devout. They sit in the cage all day during the rosary. Bring Sally over, we'll put her in the cage and some good will come of it."

So the lady brought the parrot over and they put it in the cage with the other parrots. They were doing the rosary and praying. Sally looks at them and said "Hi. My name is Sally. I like to F***. Let's get it on!"

The first parrot turned to the second and said "Drop your beads, Charley. Our prayers have been answered."

I don't like when people teach parrots to swear. It only makes it harder for them to find another home if the owners get tired of it. If you have kids, do you want a parrot that says "fark off"?

That said, for all you Philly sports fans, here is my brother's african grey parrot, Franklin, singing the Eagles cheer and "Let's go Flyers!"

"Franklin, who's your favorite team? E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES! Woooo!
Link (new window)

"Let's go Flyers...Ch Ch Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch"
Link (new window)

The article mentions the parrot likes to stick his head in a tin cup and yell to amplify the swearing. Although my parrots don't swear, they do like to stick their heads in metal food dishes and yell their heads off. They know it's louder.

In that case, should anyone be really surprised?
