Foul mouth birds having a 'time out' following a four letter tirade




A pandemonium of parrots at a wildlife park have been removed temporarily after swearing at visitors.

Five of the newly adopted parrots had been in quarantine together in the same room after being brought into Lincolnshire Wildlife Park on August 15.

To cure their boredom in self-isolation, it appears they entertained themselves by sharing their knowledge of swear words.

The park’s chief executive, Steve Nichols, said his team member couldn’t help but crack a smile when hearing their foul language – but said this only encouraged the birds to do it more.

They were temporarily removed from public view and put into ‘time out’ to think about what they have done.
