    Mine occasionally does a swearword role call. To be fair he came to me with this vocabulary and I don’t have kids so I let him get it out of his system. What’s really funny is that he’ll mix and match words to make up something completely new. I have to make sure he doesn’t see or hear me laughing at it to ensure he isn’t getting the reaction he wants. First rule of parrots is that if it gets a reaction it’s game on.

      What is the funniest, cutest or weirdest words or phrases that he has picked up from you

        Oh there are plenty but recently he declared my husband to be a “Bert-hole.” He knows how to say and use the word “asshole” but in this case he replaced “ass” with his own name. They both love to irritate each other.

          The bird is thinking that your husband doesn’t deserve being called an asshole and called him a cloacahole instead. Just didn’t know the word “cloaca”.

            Maybe it’s mispronouncing the word ‘butt’.

      It’d be like Triumph the insult dog. They could have segregated the exhibit so that if you’re a pearl clutching parent you can avoid it but this could have been a great way to raise money.

        Based on the couple of parrots I’ve met IRL, the birds would also be having a fantastic time hanging out with four of their buddies and cussing out humans.

        Lose/lose all around.

    I knew someone that had parrots. If the humans around them swear, it is easy for the birds to learn swear words because swear words are often used with animated emotion, and in short, loud phrases. Sadly, birds that learn swear words lose a lot of their resale value, or are deemed undesirable by perspective buyers.

      When I was a kid, our neighbor had parrots.

      They learned the cry of my baby sister

      When their door/window to their room was open, they imitated it so well, that my mom went to the bedroom of my sister to check on her, just to find her sleeping in her bed

      This happened a couple times until my mom figured out it was the parrots

    They are back:

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-67990806

    "The original five parrots, named Billy, Tyson, Eric, Jade and Elsie, spent three months in isolation as a result of their antics before they were put back on display. They have since become the park’s star attraction, according to Mr Nichols.

    A disclaimer notice was installed at the enclosure warning those of “a sensitive nature” about the birds’ colourful language. "

    Learn to swear at people while in captivity. Teach friend. Learn to enjoy it with friend.

    Get removed.

    I bet they swore up a storm while they were being removed. Probably less laughing.
