A foul-mouther parrot who once told a vicar to fuck off, has been teaching other birds how to swear. Barne the macaw has refused to clean up his act despite being taken to a language specialist. His most shocking outburst was when he told a mayoress, a vicar and two police officers to ‘f*** off’ and called them ‘w*****s’ when they visited Warwickshire Wildlife Sanctuary in Nuneton. And the seven-year-old macaw has now been spreading his obscene vocabulary to two other parrots, Sam and Charlie, at the centre.
Owner Geoff Grewcock said, “They just sit there swearing at each other now, all kind of foul language — it’s unbelievable.”
