Foul-mouthed British parrot banished by embarrassed keepers

Foul-mouthed British parrot banished by embarrassed keepers - Yahoo! News:
A foul-mouthed parrot previously owned by a lorry driver has been banished from public areas in a British animal sanctuary after repeatedly embarrassing his keepers, they said.
This? Is hilarious. We love this bird.

He has instructed a "lady mayoress" and a vicar to "fuck off," apparently, and when two policemen came to visit the sanctuary, he addressed them as "wankers" and invited them to fuck off as well.
"He does say 'Hello, big boy' and 'Thank you' when you give him a biscuit," she added.

"But it's mainly naughty words and always to the wrong people. We're trying to teach him not to swear. Macaws are very intelligent birds."
Indeed.

I've been having fun this morning imagining what a New York City-equivalent foul-mouthed talking bird might say.
