Animal Farm Meets Animal House

Whenever someone wants to learn a foreign language, their main objective is to eventually learn the swear words. Sometimes making the swear words the main part of your vocabulary may not go over well. That was the case with Barney. Barney went so far as to teach his friends how to swear and now that's all they do all day!
Barney is not a human, and he is not a stupid dinosaur. Barney is a parrot...a macaw actually. He belongs to a wildlife sanctuary owner named...he-heh...Geoff Grewcock!!! Now Mr....heh-heh...Grewcock didn't teach Barney to swear, his previous owner did. It seems now that Barney has taught two African greys how to swear! Grewcock said that all they do is sit around and swear at each other all day!
Barney achieved fame when he told a mayoress and cops to f-off!
In the end you always have to call on a hack, otherwise known as a parrot, a-hem, expert who says:
the birds usually talked to get the attention of their owners. "This case is so unusual because parrots are copying another parrot," he said.
I've seen it many a times. If you have a parrot who can't talk bring in an African grey and he'll teach him. Greys pick up on mimicing language easy and seem to pass it to other birds. I would hazard to guess that the greys can also be taught by other parrots. This parrot expert is probably a pet store hack, to say that parrots copying other parrots is unusual, because it's not. It's very common!!!
