Foul-mouthed parrot seeks new home in UK

October 31, 2012 @ 8:33 am

LONDON (AP) - Everyone has a few faults. In Beaky's case, he swears (a lot) and he bites.

Not good qualities for a parrot seeking a new home.

Still, honesty is the best policy, so the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has decided to come clean about his shortcomings.

Supervisor Angelina Lusher said Wednesday that anyone who takes Beaky in will have to put up with some rude language. The agency also says he tends to bite people until he bonds with them.

Beaky is a chattering lory who will only be given to new owners with experience handling exotic birds.

Lusher says Beaky needs interaction with people or other birds to have a fulfilling life.

    Could be trump's new spokesperson. Probably have a lot more intelligent things to say than the idiot with the bad haircut and no brains. He is a good example of the typical republican, bad haircut, no experience, and for awhile there he was considered to be a candidate for President! That is what scares me the most about the republican party. If you have money, you pass the test.
