(Steve Nichols/Lincolnshire Wildlife Park via AP)LONDON – A British zoo has had to separate five foul-mouthed parrots whose keepers say were encouraging each other to swear.
Billy, Eric, Tyson, Jade and Elsie joined Lincolnshire Wildlife Centre’s colony of 200 gray parrots in August and soon revealed a penchant for blue language.
“We are quite used to parrots swearing, but we’ve never had five at the same time,” said the zoo’s chief executive, Steve Nichols.
“It’s brought a big smile to a really hard year.”Nichols said the parrots have been separated to save children’s ears.
