When the Fisk family welcomed Basil the parrot into their home they hoped he would be chatty.
On meeting mother of three Sarah Fisk for the first time he announced himself with a polite ‘hello.’
But when she replied he told her to ‘x off’ – in a Welsh accent. He then started squawking ‘I’m in the Valleys’ followed by ‘x’ and ‘x’.
Basil had come to Bristol from the Vale of Glamorgan and his former owners claimed he only knew ‘a couple of swear words’.
‘It was quite shocking the first time he did it – I didn’t quite believe my ears,’ said Mrs Fisk, 39. ‘His accent is so strong sometimes.
‘He doesn’t like to be ignored, especially if you are eating something he likes, like chocolate. He says ‘‘chocolate, chocolate, chocolate’’ over and over until you give him some.’
Basil shocked staff at the RSPCA Bristol Clinic on a recent visit. ‘He kept calling the nurses x and there were a few other phrases I won’t repeat,’ said manager Mandy Stone.
I’ll take that bird off their hands if they don’t want it.
I’m sure they would give you the bird.
“How Blue Was My Valley”
No video? Lame. What is this? 1995?
The old ones are the best:
A woman goes into the pet shop and falls for this talking parrot.
“I should warn you,” the shop keeper tells her, “He was brought up in a house of ill-repute and can be rather cheeky at times.”
Undetered, the woman buys the parrot and takes it home with her.
On getting home, the parrot looks around at his new surroundings and exclaims, “New house, new Madam, Right!” The woman is slightly taken aback but sees the funny side.
A little while later her two teenages daugthers arrive home from school. “New girls!” sqwaks the parrot. The mother explains about the parrot and they all have a giggle.
Just then, the woman’s husband comes in from work. “Nice to see you, Frank!” says the parrot. Frank blushes.
Me too
I could take it to Democrat rallies.
‘x’in AWESOME!!!
My in laws knew a couple who had a parrot. Everytime the wife would walk by the parrot would say “bend over Doris” Not sure how long that marriage lasted. :-)
Let me guess: hr name was Jane?
Rule #1: NO parrots in the master bedroom.
Rule #2: NO sex in front of parrots.
She asks,"polly want a cracker?"
Parrot says "#$%^(* you B(*&^%"
Woman puts the parrot in the freezer to cool it's jets somewhat.
After a while takes out the shivering parrot, and asks the parrot, "Polly want a cracker?"
Parrot shakes his head no.
Woman asks the parrot to say something.
Parrot looks at her and says,"I am saying nothing until you tell me what that turkey in the freezer said to you."
