You're loud! ... Who's loud? (Poor Salsa :-/)

When my birds scream my moms adopted Congo African grey says "SHUT UP!!!! WHAT THE F--K IS YOUR PROBLEM!!!" It's hard not to laugh. Also my mom and I didn't teach him that, it was his previous neglectful owner.

It's kinda impossible to 'un-teach' them what they've already learned to say. Personally, swearing birds don't bother me at all. But it can sure ruin their chances of finding a new family if they ever need to be re-homed.

I totally agree with you. Hopefully we will never have to re-home him

Seminole our YN amazon... yells shut up shut up shut up, I'm gonna f- u up... I'm gonna kill those g-d birds!!!
She also mutters..I'm gonna kick you in the f -in head..g-f-d it...

She's quite the talker...all of it bad.. and all you have to do is raise your voice... like yelling over the air compressor in the garage will set her off... its embarrassing..

She learned it all from her last owner...sad.

If I ever raise my voice around Salsa he just gets in my face and yells (in his most authoritative voice), "RIGHT NOW!" Thankfully he doesn't know any swear words. Then if one of my birds is trying to do (or get into) something that's potentially dangerous and I yell "NO!" (in an attempt to get it to stop as quickly as possible), Salsa starts yelling "NO! NO! NO!"

We 'inherited' a swearing parrot from a family friend. It's hilarious! Lucky says dammit dammit dammit for the vacuum cleaner, loud noises, changing cage papers, etc. But if we tell her something she doesn't want to hear or cast aspersions on her character, she'll look us in the eye and say "f**ker!".

She gets into lecture mode and marches around bossing...get back on your cage, get up there, get back up, and yeah I know f**ker.

Hard not to laugh.

NWQuakers,

I would be laughing too....that's hilarious!!!! Willie learned the F word several years ago from tv. We do try to be real careful what is being said around him but something from tv is hard to avoid. At least he hasn't repeat it for several years now, but it doesn't mean he won't blurt it out one day either, he would quit saying something for several years and all of a sudden he'll be saying it again.
