Five parrots separated at UK zoo after encouraging each other to swear at guests [View all]
A UK wildlife sanctuary has been forced to separate five naughty parrots after they wouldn't stop swearing at visitors.
Billy, Eric, Tyson, Jade and Elsie were removed from public viewing this week due to their inappropriate behaviour.
The parrots are part of Lincolnshire Wildlife Centre's colony of 200 African grey parrots and were put in quarantine together upon arrival.
But they quickly overwhelmed the staff with their naughty language.
"We are quite used to parrots swearing, but we've never had five at the same time," the centre's chief executive, Steve Nichols, told AP.
