Parrots are harder to live with than most people realize.
They’re messy, they bite, and they scream at the top of their lungs. It isn’t
exactly unheard of that parrot owners, experiencing buyer’s remorse, occasionally
donate their obnoxious pets to local zoos. With many people spending more time
at home this year, parrot donations have taken a noticeable uptick. In a single
week, five African greys - Eric, Jade, Elsie, Tyson and Billy - were donated by
five different owners to the Lincolnshire Wildlife Park in Boston, UK. They
were quarantined together before being put on display. Once they were out in
public, it became obvious one of the parrots taught the other four some very
salty language. They swore at each other and at the park guests. Eventually staff
were forced to move the birds to an area of the park where they’re unlikely to
offend anyone, at least until their language is more family-friendly.
