5 Parrots were Separated At A Zoo Because They Kept Swearing At Visitors And Laughing Together.

The X post references a real 2020 incident at a British wildlife sanctuary where five African grey parrots were separated due to their synchronized swearing at visitors, a behavior linked to their exceptional mimicry skills and social nature, as noted in a CBS News report.

Scientific studies, such as those in the journal Applied Animal Behaviour Science, highlight that African grey parrots have cognitive abilities rivaling a 4-6-year-old human child, enabling them to learn and reinforce complex vocalizations like profanity when grouped, which likely amplified their disruptive behavior.

The separation reflects a common zoo practice of managing social animals to reduce stress or behavioral issues, though research from Ballard Brief suggests such interventions can cause emotional distress in highly social species, challenging the narrative that zoos always prioritize animal welfare.

I'll pay to see those parrots. That's the fun honestly.

Hmmm! Na so! Separate the firewood and the flame will die out. They learn these habits from humans themselves and become better with time. That’s why they are parrots and like AI could become better and superior with time.

Yes! Amusing, until cancellers starts to call for the cancellation of the zoo. They did the right thing by removing them from the zoo.

End time parrots .. it's time to be serious and not take anything for granted again

I am sure these parrots learnt how to curse from the visitors because how could they have mimicked cursing if not from humans

End time parrots
i am sure they are not happy with the way they are being displayed to visitors

Those parrots must be from warri or Benin city cos that's the headquarters of swearing and cursing

They're traumatized

Scary movie something.
