5 Parrots Had To Be Separated By The Zoo Because They Were Encouraging Each Other To Swear At The Guests
Five African grey parrots caused a surprising problem at a British wildlife park, and it had nothing to do with feathers or food. The birds kept swearing at visitors, then egging each other on until the noise became impossible to ignore.
At Lincolnshire Wildlife Park, Tyson, Jade, Elsie, Billy, and Eric were separated after their bad language started feeding off itself. Most guests laughed it off, but the staff still had to step in, especially with children around and a whole flock watching the chaos unfold.
Now the parrots are spread out across the park, and the story has only gotten more memorable. Read on.
A group of 5 parrots was causing havoc in a zoo with their excessive swearing
Here is one of the members of the naughty parrot gang.
Nichols told BBC News that the potty-mouthed birds would often swear to trigger a reaction from passing zoo visitors. Because of this, whenever a park visitor burst into laughter or another bird reacted to the swearing, the parrot gang would just start hurling even more bad words.
One of the parrots would blurt out a swear word, and another would laugh at it; then they would just continue repeating the process. Many visitors found it really funny and amusing to hear a gang of parrots swear at them, but Nichols said they decided to move them because of the children who would visit the park.
Nichols also added that he hopes the mischievous parrots will learn different words in their new colonies, which would cause them to swear at least a bit less than before. He's also aware of the possibility that the parrots will teach the other well-behaved parrots bad language, resulting in the park ending up with 250 loud, swearing birds.
That is one way to turn a zoo visit into a live comedy show.
Aside from this naughty parrot gang, the Lincolnshire Wildlife Park is also home to Chico, the yellow-crowned Amazon parrot who went viral for his beautiful rendition of Beyoncé's song "If I Were a Boy".
In the video, you can see Chico sitting in his cage while putting on the performance of a lifetime with his perfect vocals. The park visitors can be heard laughing in the background as they listen to his singing.
Chico puts on quite a performance for a cheering crowd.
This is quite a story to read or hear about; I can only imagine how it felt for the visitors who were lucky enough to visit the zoo before the gang split up. It must have been a hilarious experience to listen to a group of parrots swearing their hearts out as you walked around the park.
It's even better telling the story to someone else who probably won't believe you unless you provide some evidence. I wonder how the group is doing now and whether they have changed their naughty ways.
Those birds knew exactly how to steal the show.
