Close your ears-Parrots speaking.

A group of foul-mouthed parrots is being transferred to a bigger flock in the hope it will clean up their language. Lincolnshire Wildlife Park said it took the decision after five African greys taught three more birds to swear, but acknowledged it was a risk: “We could end up with 100 swearing parrots.”

My grey loves to tell me that she is "a sweet baby bird". She will ask to come out and play for a bit. She hears everything in the house, and is always saying to the dogs "what are you barking at?"

Yes I heard about that
apparently they were encouraging each other to swear and then laughing about it

It'll be an interesting scientific experiment.
One wonders on the potential benefits of peer group pressure parrots.

What will it teach the scientists if the rogue few sufficiently influences the majority one wonders ?
