5 African parrots expelled from a British garden for insulting visitors

British Wildlife Park, Lincolnshire, expelled five parrots from public display after it began swearing insults at visitors and staff.

"At first things went well," said Steve Nichols, CEO of the park. "We were not worried about these African parrots except for their potential interaction with children."

He added that these African gray parrots, named Eric, Gade, Elsie, Tyson and Billy, were donated to the park by five different owners in the same week.

But employees note, the birds share a tendency to fly, far from where they are supposed to be.

Nichols said: Within a very short period of time, parrots began to share insults to visitors and workers with vulgar words, which are short words of several letters, which are easy for the parrot to memorize and repeat.
