Five foul mouthed parrots have been causing a comical stir at Lincolnshire Wildlife Park by swearing in front of visitors and staff.
African grey parrots Billy, Tyson, Elsie, Jade and Eric arrived at the park in Friskney together, which is also home to The National Parrot Sanctuary.
The five parrots have often been heard “f’ing and blinding at each other”, much to the amusement of staff and visitors.
They were initially removed from public viewing before being moved into separate enclosures.
Steve Nichols, CEO at Lincolnshire Wildlife Park, told Lincolnshire Reporter: “We take in parrots all the time and a lot of them talk and make unusual noises.
“A lot of them do swear, so when they come in we find it quite amusing, but we never had it where five arrived at the same time.
“They were all f’ing and blinding at each other, which was funny, but when they went outside they were quite offensive to some of the visitors. It caused some concern as people didn’t realise it was the parrots at first as it can sound like it is a person’s voice, but then they loved it.
“It is unusual to get five coming to us at once that all have the blue language with the ‘f word’ the most common. We are finding that people are swearing to try and encourage the parrots.
“We ended up taking them off-shore into a private area to get them quiet down a little and develop other noises. They have now been moved into separate enclosures.” (Lincolnshire Reporter)
