A F*****g Barney Among Parrots And Police
SAYS bird sanctuary owner Geoff Grewcock: “I knew that Barney could swear but what has happened is shocking.”
Barney is a seven-year-old blue and gold macaw. He has, as Mr Grewcock maintains, picked up his lexicon from his previous owners.
Says the Mail: “He’s been teaching the other two when we had our backs turned… He has duly passed it on to African Greys Sam and Charlie, both five years old, with whom he shares a cage in Mr Grewcock’s living room. Their favourite words are f*** off, b******* and t***.”
The story then takes on a predictable twist as Barney tells the local mayoress to f*** off” and addresses two police officers and a vicar with the legend: “You can f*** off too, w******!”
As ever, it turns out that parrots may be the last voice of rebellion in a country where if, says, Mr Grewcock were to call the local knobs names he would be plucked and stuffed…

Bird Sanctuary owner looking for publicity!
Everyone who has / has had parrots knows that if a parrot has been taught to swear it will swear wherever he is, and that other parrots will mimic new sounds. Inevitable when he put them in together.
Not that I blame him of course…. there are far too many neglected parrots out there, bought as a novelty and discarded. And they live as long as we do.
