Five parrots at a wildlife park have been removed from public display after they started swearing at visitors.
The African grey parrots were adopted by the Lincolnshire Wildlife Park in Friskney in August and placed in quarantine together.
However, after being moved into the main outdoor aviaries the birds started ruffling a few feathers with their somewhat choice language.
They have now been moved into different colonies away from delicate ears.

The parrots "swear to trigger reaction or a response" so if people look shocked or laugh, it just encourages them to do it more, he said.
"With the five, one would swear and another would laugh and that would carry on," he said.


"I'm hoping they learn different words within colonies - but if they teach the others bad language and I end up with 250 swearing birds, I don't know what we'll do," he added.




These parrots are at a different zoo.
Hearing the little girl is hilarious.

Cosmo, the one-eyed Siberian Forest cat......a picture from last summer when I discovered him, and a current pic.
I've got a cat I rescued too. He actually came to me when he was a freezing kitten in SD and I was on the deck smoking. He loves people. But hates other cats. And I'm sure a lot of that has to do with him asking for help, and me welcoming him right in. He's around 18 now.

We have a brand new family member!

Meet Olaf. He is 12 weeks old. White boxer. He is a rescue.

Olaf is Deaf. Can't hear a thing. Didn't know this before but 10% of white boxers are deaf.

Regardless he now has a good home with a patient set of parents who can help him navigate life.
