Watch Your Mouth!

Wednesday April 9, 2008
A Blue and Gold Macaw has proven once again that birds are sometimes too smart for their own good. Barney the foul-mouthed parrot, a resident of the Warwickshire Wildlife Sanctuary, is 7 years old and seems to have learned a plethora of colorful words and phrases from his previous owner. In fact, he is so proud of his offensive vocabulary that he's taught it to the two African Greys that room with him. It just goes to show that you should always watch what you say around your feathered friends. You never know which words may strike them as interesting!
