Are you going to laugh or shock if a parrot swearing inside the cage? / myLot

I had seen a parrot who swears bad words. My first reaction was so amazed seeing a talking parrot. The sad part, the bird swears. Some of my friends are laughing during that time. As for me, I gave my piece that it is not appropriate. The parrot is owned by the owner of the hostel that we had stayed for a week vacation. I find it not a good gesture for a bird especially for the first impression of the customer in that hostel. What would be your reaction about this bad parrot bird? Image Credit: pixabay.com

Parrots easily imitate what they can hear or what they are taught. Some owners intentionally teach them bad or foul language.

@Shavkat Yes, it's bad but the owners enjoy listening to it. They feel happy when the parrot imitates those bad words.

@Shavkat I just find it funny. I have had it before with parrots.

I think birds are like children and seem to pick up on words they shouldn't say. But I agree that a swearing parrot isn't a good thing to have in a hostel.

I agree. It is not good for business.

Perhaps the parrot mimic his master. It could be intentionally or not.

I would laugh too..it's not like it is the parrots fault....i might pass a comment to its owner though..to teach it new words.

I think it is the best way to teach other phrases for that parrot.

I would have laughed at first. And then afterwards, would have made parrot repeat some pleasant words. If parrots learn quick I can definitely make the parrot modify its speech! :)

I think that's a good intervention.
