Potty-mouthed parrots split up by zoo bosses after egging each other on to swear

    Five foul-mouthed parrots have had to be separated after encouraging each other to swear at a Lincolnshire zoo.

    The parrots - named Billy, Eric, Tyson, Jade, and Elsie - joined Lincolnshire Wildlife Centre's colony of 200 grey parrots in August.

    But it did not take them long to ruffle a few feathers with their foul language.

    "We saw it very quickly; we are quite used to parrots swearing but we've never had five at the same time," Steve Nichols, CEO of the wildlife park said.

    "People have come to us, they think it's highly amusing, we haven't had one complaint," he added.

    "When a parrot tells you to f*** off it amuses people very highly.

    "It's brought a big smile to a really hard year."

    The park is also home to parrot Chico, who made headlines in September after learning to sing a range of pop songs, including Beyonce's If I Were A Boy.
