http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Neighbor-complains-about-parrot-that-curses-in-6265088.phpA parrot in Northern California that can bark like a dog, meow like a cat, whir like a drill and who whistles to passers-by is upsetting his neighbors because the bird also curses in Spanish.
KCRA-TV reports (http://bit.ly/1K9sm3i ) Jessica Baca is accusing the bird, named Rula, of constantly saying "whore" in Spanish.
Baca says her grandkids began repeating the word after hearing the parrot say it.
Rula's owner, Rita Canisales, says Baca isn't hearing correctly and that the bird is not bilingual.

Toss "embarrassing parrots" into your favorite search engine and see what comes up.
(A personal favorite is the woman's parrot who, whenever a guy shows up at her home, shouts "You're gonna get some tonight"
