Speaker 1: I told you this story yesterday about these swearing parrots
Speaker 1: who have been removed view Five parts of wildlife park
Speaker 1: in the UK have been removed from public display after
Speaker 1: they start swearing at visitors. The parents has said the
Speaker 1: report swore to trigger a reaction and response, so if
Speaker 1: people look shocked or laughed, it encouraged them to do
Speaker 1: it even more. Teenagers with five one would swear and
Speaker 1: the others would laugh, and then the swearing one would
Speaker 1: carry on, So they moved them to different colonies. At
Speaker 1: the back of the zoom guessing they're worry now that
Speaker 1: if the swearing parents teach the other parrots bad language,
Speaker 1: they could up with it and end up with two
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty swearing birds, which is amazing. And then
Speaker 1: the last line of the support is what leads us
Speaker 1: to what we've got right now. Earlier this year, the
Speaker 1: same wildlife sanctuary had a viral superstar in cheek Ey
Speaker 1: the Parrot, because of his version of beyonces if I
Speaker 1: were a boy, this is Chico.

Speaker 2: Oh, we didn't have a parent.
Speaker 5: We had a canary when I was a kid, yellow canary,
Speaker 5: and I couldn't remember really what happened to him. So
Speaker 5: I asked my mum yesterday when we were talking about birds,
Speaker 5: what happened at Gus? Because he was stolen? And she goes,
Speaker 5: At the time, we had people living across the road
Speaker 5: who were drug dealers. Their business model included trading secondhand
Speaker 5: goods for drugs. So we had a period of regular
Speaker 5: break ins and in our street. And one morning I
Speaker 5: went out to find Gus and he was gone cage
Speaker 5: and all we assume he was traded in. He wasn't
Speaker 5: a young canary.
Speaker 3: So listen, I've seen every single episode of Breaking Back.
Speaker 1: All right, I've seen Scarface. Okay, there's no there's a
Speaker 1: drug Dealers aren't trading in yellow canaries. There's not a
Speaker 1: big market for canaries.
Speaker 2: Then what happened to Gus?
Speaker 1: You know what happens is what happens to a lot
Speaker 1: of young kids, and that the parents don't know what
Speaker 1: to say when gust has died.
