In 2020 five African Greys at a wildlife park had to be removed from display for three months for swearing at visitors. Billy, Tyson, Eric, Jade and Elsie are now star attractions at the park. There is a disclaimer notice at the enclosure warning visitors.
However, three more - another Eric, Captain and Sheila have started swearing but they are being introduced to the rest of the flock to try and dilute the swearing by picking up other sounds from the rest of the flock and also drown out the sounds of any swearing. Alternatively they could end up with 100 swearing parrots instead. At the moment there are about 30 birds who imitate the beeping sound of reversing lorries.
