Dirty bird uses dirty words
Wall Street JournalBarney, a five-year-old parrot with a dirty mouth, has been removed from public display at the Warwickshire Animal Sanctuary in Nuneaton, England, after hurling four-letter words at a mayor, a minister and two policemen. The July 27 Guardian reported that the bird can now be seen only by request, "in case he rounds on potential donors or gives a dreadful example to visiting children." That would have made for an awk!-ward situation. The paper said Barney was trained by his former owner, a retired truck driver "who had a dislike of authority." So have you heard about this bird? Now everybody knows about the birdie's bad words. Pa pa pa oo ma ma mao . . . Posted by: Mike 2005-07-29 |
