Foul-mouthed parrots at Lincolnshire Wildlife Park in England have become an unexpected attraction, with their profane language both amusing and mortifying staff and visitors. The park is attempting to integrate the parrots into a larger flock in hopes that they will learn nicer sounds and words. Despite warnings posted near their habitat, the parrots' profanity has garnered international media attention and amused the park's staff, who have received messages from relatives abroad about the parrots' viral fame. The park speculates that the parrots' foul language comes from human influence, as the birds can replicate voices exactly.
