My uncle had a parrot that he tried to teach to talk. Stubborn bird would not talk, so my uncle just gave up. The parrot would make all kinds of loud noises, so he would just yell at the bird to shut up. After a few months of my uncle yelling at him the bird finally began to talk. All he ever said was "Shut the f*ck up"!!! I was 10 years old, and that was hilarious!!

Birds are wonderful pets, but you have to be very careful what you say in front of them. That's a really fun story.

I love pet birds and have had them all of my life up until the last few years. My dream bird is an african grey!
When I was growing up, we had a parakeet that was sweet as could be. Listened well, was very affectionate, etc.
When he died and we later got another one, he was affectionate too, but stubborn as could be! He would not listen, got into everything and was as defiant as could be. We used to let him out in the morning to fly around before I went to school and my parents went to work. But when it was time to go back in his cage so we could all leave, we had to chase him around the house and catch him to put him in his cage. One time, I was already gone and it was just my mom (a church secretary, mind you). She finally got so frustrated at him she yelled "damn you, get in your cage." Only that one time. A few months later, my parents had the church pastor over for a visit. Somehow the bird had managed to break a bar in his cage and figured out how to pry them apart with his legs and he escaped. He then did a fly by through the pastor's hair all while yelling "Damn you, get in your cage." I thought it was hysterical when my mom told me, my parents did not!
I also went to a petstore once. They had a yellow naped amazon (my other favorite). He was out of his cage sitting on a swing. He was using his legs to "pump" the swing so it was going back and forth. I went over to talk to him "aren't you a pretty bird, hello, and so on." He stopped the swing, glared at me and said "screw you." I laughed so hard I was crying!
I'd love to see these swearing birds at the zoo!!
