TL;DR Summary

A UK wildlife park is addressing its foul-mouthed parrot problem by grouping eight swearing African Grey parrots with 92 non-swearing birds in an attempt to dilute their cursing. The plan aims to have the non-swearing birds influence the swearing ones to mimic more pleasant sounds. The parrots, known for their intelligence and ability to mimic speech, gained notoriety for their foul language, which they taught each other during quarantine. The park hopes this new strategy will help the parrots kick their bad habit, as signs have been put up to warn visitors about the birds' devious behavior.
