My favourite article that I’ve read this week was about officials reacting to a complaint of an African grey parrot that sits in the window of a house in York and shouts out to passers-by “Show us your knickers!” or “Wanker!”
The owner’s landlady has been threatened with eviction if this behaviour continues, which would be a fowl thing to do.
Have a great weekend everybody.
Make sure you don’t end up before the beak. See you on the flip side.

If they know it is a parrot, this is ridiculous (I mean the complaint) … the lady could put a sign up “Beware of bad mouth parrot” or something.

I think that would get people flocking (no pun intended) if they knew there was a cursing bird. I know I’d be there like a shot!

Bureaucrats gone mad. And why people feel the need to complain any way, how do they know their neighbours dog isn’t swearing when it barks at them too? 😂

What a good deterrent to keep cold callers out. Maybe the parrot could be retrained to squawk out some specific cold-call getting -rid- of phrases. Still, show us your knickers is pretty funny. Hope eviction isn’t on the cards for the owner. That seems a bit extreme. What if the parrot had turrets?

Somewhere, surely, there is a help group for parrots with turrets.

The parrot would make a good watch parrot. 😀 Interesting home defense.
