Hello Liz.

What's parrots learn from their current homestead, means that they are going to carry those phrases and words with them the rest of their life I'm pretty sure they don't sit on their perch and think, "well I can't say that anymore."

I have a good friend who had an old parrot it became so crotchety, they had to put him in his own room. When people came in, he would try to bite them.

I take it your Dick didn't want to hear that every time someone said his name. You know how to curse in no uncertain terms in symbols. You should give lessons.This is funny. Did Doug grow up to buy his own bird?

Oh MY... it would be difficult to rehome the beautiful bird... You can't simply give him a time out and tell him not to say those unacceptable rants, now can we? I most certainly could see this one as being a true story. LOL I inherited my father's cockatiel who believes he must scream at the top of his lungs whenever my granddaughters are around.... Noise begets noise, I guess.

Smiles, Carol

Liz,

And he got to make new friends, and it probably helped with food some nights when you might have grabbed some fast food.

Great choice, obviously. Fab story!! Love your fun!

Parrots are so annoying. If you wanted it to recite Emily Dickinson it would just stare dumb as a hammer at you. But let a few expletives escape your inner censor now and then, and the things repeat them verbatim.

Always a great read from your quarter, so keep 'em coming. :)

This is hilarious! Birds say the darnedest things. When I was in high school, a neighbor had a parrot that would say, "shut the fucking door, it's freezing in here!" Poor lil dude forced to suffer the cold blasts during Ohio's winters. Your story kind of makes me want a bird, you know my dog has yet talked back to me. "Who's a good girl?" :) lol

Who would need a parrot with such a vocabulary? It is a good thing you heard what Mac had to say before you took him into your home. Yes, Pets R Us would be the best way to go.

Ha! haa! what an anticlimax for poor Doug! Is there any way you can make these feathered friends forget those lines. How come they pick up only the F-words? God works in mysterious ways.! I loved the story. I don't think I'll ever want to own any kind of parrot. I have already learnt all the popular swear words by heart!:) Cheers!
