A Royal navy parrot with a reputation for embarrassing top brass with her foul mouth has been ordered ashore. But it was not Sunny's swearing that led to her being taken off the British frigate, Lancaster. She has been given extended shore leave on medical advice after plucking out her feathers and looking withdrawn. Sunny a six-year-old African grey with the official service number of RN Parrot No 1, has a habit of squawking "arse" and "bollocks" at inappropriate moments. During a visit in 2001 by the First Sea Lord, Sunny was banished to a cupboard but could still be heard squawking expletives. Besides a comprehensive list of oaths, her favourite phrases are: "Zulus, thousands of 'em" and "You ain't seen nothing, right?' "

Why do you think we use the term "cussing like a sailor"? What does everyone expect? Bible verses? :-)
Too funny!
LOL! Not enough Captain Pissgums references around here.
Pathos on the High Seas, below decks... on his ship the Quivering Thigh
Where does one think this parrot learned this language? I'm stupefied.
Maybe she's pining for the fiords...

Any relation to Churchill's bird?

Let guess at parrot school?? ;) Obviously, the parrot never got beyond sophmoric humor.
