Two college students purchased a parrot to keep in their apartment. The parrot was highly intelligent, but all it ever did was swear. The bird's vocabulary was extensive, however, it would swear for five minutes straight without repeating a single profanity.
At first the two young men thought that this was the coolest bird. After days and nights of constant verbal abuse, the student's couldn't tolerate it anymore. They decided to isolate the bird so they couldn't hear the words. They put the bird in the kitchen where they had just finished eating a bucket of fried chicken.
For the first few seconds, the parrot went crazy, squawking and thrashing around the room. The students began to worry that the bird might have hurt itself, so they opened the kitchen door. The parrot calmly walked onto the one student's arm and politely said, "Awfully sorry about all of the trouble I have given you. I'll do my best to improve my vocabulary from now on." The students were amazed and bewildered by the transformation that had come over the parrot. After a few minutes the parrot asked, "By the way, what did that chicken do?"
The Impolite Parrot
God gives every bird its food, but He does not throw it into its nest.
~J.G. Holland
Avocado and chocolate are toxic to birds. NEVER allow your bird these foods.
