Bad birds
Maybe someone could open a bird park with parrots who only know swear words.
Quote:A group of African gray parrots who were quarantined together at a wildlife park in Lincolnshire, England, taught each other how to swear, Lincolnshire Live reported on Monday.
The five birds arrived at Lincolnshire Wildlife Park in August and shared a room, the park's chief executive, Steve Nichols, told reporters.
The foul language made staff members laugh, which encouraged the birds to keep going with their naughty words, Nichols told Lincolnshire Live. The parrots started to equate swear words with laughter and would start laughing at their own obscenities.
It's not uncommon for parrots to learn swear words and be encouraged to continue when they see people enjoy their vulgar comedy.
"But when you get four or five together that have learnt the swearing and naturally learnt the laughing so when one swears, one laughs and before you know it just got to be like an old working men's' club scenario where they are all just swearing and laughing," Nichols told Lincolnshire Live.
By the time the park reopened to the public, the birds had gotten in the habit of calling visitors names. Staff and customers got a laugh out of it, Nichols said, but the park decided to move them to an enclosure until their vocabulary improved.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
