Parrots separated at zoo after encouraging each to curse profusely at guests

What an awful awful article that really captures how garbage media is:

Video on top, ads and then it has nothing to do with the parrots being discussed.

IG link: Photos and no audio.

Am I insane for getting worked about how trash this is?

> Nichols told BBC News that the parrots "swear to trigger reaction or a response," so seeing people shocked or laughing only encourages the birds to curse more.

This is similar to social media and infotainment.

Why would you seperate them? This is pure gold, make it for adults only and charge extra.

A better link might be the original BBC story: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-54340425

> "I'm hoping they learn different words within colonies - but if they teach the others bad language and I end up with 250 swearing birds, I don't know what we'll do," he added.

This will be an interesting experiment.

"Still, keepers thought it would be best to keep them away from children so not to ruffle any feathers."

I appreciate it when writers are allowed to have a little fun with language.

I was disappointed by very little detail and lots of ads. Sadly it seems the story takes backseat to the CTA

Reminds me of the transgenic parrot in Michael Crichton's 'Next'.

Clearly it's the parrot's fault. \s
