Parrots are fascinating because of their ability to speak and mimic voices. However, this can get them in trouble if they learn the wrong words! Five African grey parrots that were adopted by the Lincolnshire Wildlife Park were removed from public view and separated after they started swearing at visitors and then laughing with each other. Luckily, everyone saw the humor in the situation and nobody was offended.

The zoo adopted the parrots (Billy, Elsie, Eric, Jade, and Tyson) in mid-August. However, the newcomers began encouraging each other to swear and something had to be done before things got out of hand (or is that wing?).
The five African greys aren’t the only birds of renown at the Lincolnshire Wildlife Park. The zoo is also home to Chico, a parrot who made headlines earlier in September after learning to sing pop songs, including Beyoncé’s 2008 single, ‘If I Were A Boy.’
The Lincolnshire Wildlife Park is set in over 650k square feet of Nature Reserve and is the United Kingdom’s premier Animal Rehabilitation Center. It has over 2k residents and is home to The National Parrot Sanctuary which is the largest of its kind in the world. The park has rescued more parrots than anyone in the United Kingdom.
