Parrots Removed for Swearing

Parrots removed from UK family safari park after teaching each other to swear - and laughing about it 'Because they were all quarantined together it meant that one room was just full of swearing birds'

A close-up African grey parrot sits behind the bars of a cage beneath a headline about parrots removed from a UK family safari park for teaching each other to swear. The joke comes from the absurd image of parrots learning profanity from one another and laughing at visitors after quarantine. It is used as a reaction to chaotic group behavior, contagious bad habits, or people making a situation worse together.
