A couple who taught their parrot to swear is putting up the bird for sale after unsuccesfully trying to stop it from swearing. Charlie, a Grey African Parrot keeps on saying his favourite filthy word, wa*ker in front of his owner’s friends and neighbours.

In addition, Charlie would also wolf whistles at passing women and nods his head to gangsta rap, his favourite music. Surely some nice work from the owners. 

Mum-of-three Kate has now put “rogue” Charlie up for for sale because he has frightened away all their friends.

She said: “We have tried teaching him to say ‘oh sh*t’ but w*nk is definitely his favourite.

“We thought that if we could teach him other words then that would stop him from saying w*nker but it hasn’t worked.

“It’s really embarrassing when friends come round to visit because he’s always calling them rude words.

If there is anyone to blame here, it would be the owners. You reap what you sow. I am curious what they teach their children!
