SANTA ROSA, Calif., Dec. 21 (UPI) — A California bird rescue said workers are trying to “reprogram” its newest resident, a potty-mouthed parrot with a profound profanity problem.
The Birds of the Feather rescue group in Santa Rosa said Kayla, a Congo African grey parrot, came to the group this month and rescuers soon realized she has “a bit of a potty mouth.”
“I was sitting in the chair one evening and I hear ‘I gotta poop,’” rescue founder John Lloyd told KTVU-TV. “I just looked back and went, ‘Go in your cage and poop!’ And she says ‘Shut the [expletive] up!’”
Lloyd said the 6-year-old bird was brought to the rescue because she didn’t get along with her owner.
“That’s the only bird in this whole house that cusses,” he said. “She has a definite potty mouth.”
Lloyd said he is working to “reprogram” Kayla to cure her cursing problem.
Police in India confirmed in August a parrot was detained and questioned on allegations the bird had been trained to swear at a woman by the complainant’s stepson. However, officers were unable to convince the avian to utter any foul language.
