  They recently joined the Lincolnshire Wildlife Centre’s colony of 200 African gray parrots in August, […]

  “I’m hoping they learn different words within colonies,” Nichols added. “But if they teach the others bad language and I end up with 250 swearing birds, I don’t know what we’ll do.”

      Our parrots are perfect for a pirate, but swear like a sailor!

    … You don’t know what to do with 250 swearing birds?

    You start a comedy act, or show, is what you do.

    Do a mockumentary.

    … what do they mean ‘don’t know what to do’?

  If I go to a zoo and the parrots don’t curse me out I’m asking for a refund.

  There’s a zoo near me that started out as a rescue park for abandoned parrots. One enclosure had all the potty-mouthed parrots in it and they hung up a sign saying

  “If the parrots shout insults, they’re (usually) not directed at you personally”

  That always made me laugh.

  Also don’t buy parrots as pets. They’re notoriously difficult to keep and most people get in way over their heads while the parrots live a miserable and depressed (and very long!) life.

  African Grays are complete assholes. One of the worst birds to own.

    I have an African Grey. She’s quiet and gentle and obsessed with climbing under blankets and she’s dumb as a rock. Truly a model specimen.

    Here she is climbing the stairs one by one instead of flying.

      Sadly they can be very good for a very long time, but once they become obsessed with something, the horrid noises they make are utterly exhausting. I have lived with 3 that have been utter nightmares. The Timneh's are worse than the larger Greys.

    All parrots are great trolls.

    All corvids are humorless vengeful beasts.

    Both families coexist around Australia. I’m really curious of how they do it. I imagine they have some kind of unstable feud.

      Agreed on the parrots but a lot of corvids I’ve encountered were absolute trolls as well. Very intentional and calculating, they clearly had fun antagonizing other animals. Don’t get me wrong, they’re assholes. But they’re funny assholes.

      Maybe European corvids aren’t like Australian ones. I’ve heard stories about your magpies.
