Foul-mouthed British parrot banished by embarrassed keepers


Tue Jul 26, 3:36 PM ET

LONDON (AFP) - A foul-mouthed parrot previously owned by a lorry driver has been banished from public areas in a British animal sanctuary after repeatedly embarrassing his keepers, they said.

Barney, a five-year-old Macaw, is now kept indoors at Warwickshire Animal Sanctuary in Nuneaton, central England, when outsiders visit after abusing dignitaries with swearword-littered insults.

"He's told a lady mayoress to f..(expletive) off and he told a lady vicar: 'And you can f... off as well'," sanctuary worker Stacey Clark said.

Nor did the forces of law and order escape, she added.

"Two policemen came to have a look at the centre. He told them: 'And you can f... off you two wankers'."

Clark said sanctuary workers believed Barney either picked up the phrases from television or was taught them by his previous owner, a lorry driver who emigrated to Spain.

"He does say 'Hello, big boy' and 'Thank you' when you give him a biscuit," she added.

"But it's mainly naughty words and always to the wrong people. We're trying to teach him not to swear. Macaws are very intelligent birds."
 
What's the matter? Doesn't the UK have any freedom of speech advocates?

Officials at the Warwickshire Animal Sanctuary are infringing upon the MacCaw's right to freely express its opinion.

This is doubly upsetting as the incidents mentioned that are considered most objectionable involve a political statement (a lady mayoress) a difference of religious opinion (a lady vicar) and an dissenting opinion on law enforcement (two policemen).

After all, the bird was not crying "Fire!" in a crowded theatre, it was giving its opinion on (in the cases described) members of three different varieties of public authority.

This persecution should be fought. Pop's Parrot must be freed.

If nobody cares in Nuneaton, a representative must be sent from somewhere caring people can be found.

I nominate Brinnie. :D
 
Forget freedom of speech. This is a clear case of feather prejudice! Shocking.

Nothing to do with me honest... I swapped that one for a Spanish virgin with a Lorry driver years back... and I was fiddled, the bloody Spanish bird wasn't a virgin at all, she'd been re-sleeved... someone had shoved a leg of ham up there and pulled the bone out.
 
And you without a parrot handy to tell her to fuck off. What a sad story.
