Note the similarity to the "Jewish Parrot" joke, and the joke with the punchline "But what did the chicken do?"...this story's a hoax.

...but I do not include myself in such a category,of course!

Swearing Parrot Sketch The cast: RABBI PRALINE: John Cleese SHOP OWNER: Michael Palin The sketch: A black frocked rabbi enters a pet shop. Rabbi Praline: Shalom, I wish to register a kvetch. (The Israeli owner does not respond. This is normative.) Rabbi Praline: Shalom, Putz? Owner: What do you mean "putz"? Rabbi Praline: I'm sorry, I have such a cold. I wish to kvetch! Owner: You and every other Jew in this town. Rabbi Praline: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this parrot what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique. Owner: Oh yes, the, uh, the Anglo Saxon Blue Streak... What's,uh... What's wrong with it? Rabbi Praline: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's swearing like a shaygitz sailor, that's what's wrong with it! Owner: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's gargling. Rabbi Praline: Look, shmendrik, I know a swearing parrot when I hear one, and I'm looking at one right now. Owner: No no he's not swearing, he's, he's garglin'! Remarkable bird, the Anglo Saxon Blue, idn'it, ay? Beautiful plumage! Rabbi Praline: The plumage don't enter into it. It's utterings are foul! Owner: Of course they're fowl. 'E's a bird. Rabbi Praline: Not W fowl, U foul. It's utterings are [spells it out] f-o-U-l! Owner: Nononono, no, no! 'E's gargling! Rabbi Praline: All right then, if he's garglin', I'll wake him up! (shouting at the cage) Shalom, Mister Pinchas Parrot! I've got a lovely fresh gefilte fish for you if you show... and so on...

I am writing about the parrot, you have to remember the bird only says and repeats what it has heard or been taught. I do not think it is fair to punish the bird or to kill it because of what it has learned. I do believe it can be taught better if it hears nicer and kinder words and phrases. We have 21 birds of all kinds and we would be more than happy to have this bird to put with ours and we would give it a good loving home and we would teach it better and teach it other words to say. I don't believe this bird should be harmed or punished because once again someone had to teach it what it says. Now everyone is embarrassed and ashamed of the bird. Please write to me and give me the bird I will give it a great home with my 21 other birds and we will love and care for it. My other birds are 2 parrots, 9 cockatiels, and 10 parakeets. I will be looking forward to hearing from you. My email address is above. Thanks. Please don't harm this bird it is a beautiful bird and can learn better.
