👆Meet Captain, one of eight parrots at the Lincolnshire Wildlife Park who has quite the potty mouth. 

🏴‍☠️ Swearing like a pirate... When staff realized the birds had started swearing profusely, they put up warning signs for zoo guests at the exhibit. In January, the zoo announced a new effort to curb the parrots' potty mouths by integrating them with 92 other, more innocent birds. 

  • "We could end up with 100 swearing parrots on our hands. Only time will tell," Steve Nichols, chief executive of the park, said at the time.

🤪 Pick your poison: So far, staff has reported a noticeable decrease in swearing from the birds, although one of them has picked up a new annoying habit of singing "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" over and over again.
