What did the parrot say to the mayor?

“Fuck off”

What did the parrot say to the priest?

“You can fuck off too”

No, this isn’t some stale joke, but a true exchange from one critical Macaw parrot who apparently has an issue with authority figures. He didn’t stay oblivious to the two policemen in the group and obliged them with a similarly colorful greeting: “And you can fuck off, you wankers.”

You might have heard of Barney the parrot, when these headlines made news back in July, 2005. Since then, Barney, who lives at the Warwickshire Animal Sanctuary, has been given a private pen, and can only be viewed on ‘request’ to avoid any offensive one liners being thrown at unsuspecting visitors.

Geoff Grewcock, the sanctuary’s owner, who says Barney has acquired his rough around the edges language skills from his previous owner, a truck driver, has since been trying to clean up Barney’s vocabulary, by carefully censoring his own speech, having Barney listen to ‘clean radio’ and by having Barney join him nightly for some TV news and documentaries, which he enjoys.

But this clever little bird doesn’t think much of censorship, and is an avid proponent of free speech. He again made the news a few days ago, when unsuspecting Geoff Grewcock discovered Barney had been teaching two other parrots to curse behind his back.  I guess he never gave Barney enough credit to think he could turn language professor in the parrot sanctuary.

According to Grewcock, : “They just sit there swearing at each other now, all kinds of foul language, it’s unbelievable…It sounds like a builders’ yard sometimes when we come in here, with all the abuse flying about.”

But Barney is not all that brute, and does have a sweet side. If you give him a cookie, he will bring on his best manners and oblige you with a gracious “thank you”.
