Parrots are a very popular pet option for most people because they're a bit easier to manage than most pets and they can be super fun. Whether you've owned a parrot or not, you probably know about the parrot's ability to talk, which includes swearing.

The British zoo Lincolnshire Wildlife Centre had some trouble keeping the language of their winged residents clean. The park employees had to go so far as to separate the five African grey parrots to stop the swearing.

According to the Associated Press, the five parrots, Tyson, Jade, Elsie, Billy, and Eric were all relocated because they were encouraging one another to swear. The zoo's chief executive, Steve Nichols, said they were used to hearing parrots swear, but this group was doing too much.

Even though most visitors didn't mind the colorful language and a lot of them just laughed it off, they still had to put a stop to this behavior. Nichols admitted that it was very amusing to people to hear a parrot swear at them, and we completely understand.

This gang of mischievous parrots was spread out to different areas in the zoo so they wouldn't set each other off with the swearing. How would you feel if you passed a group of swearing parrots in a zoo?

Here is one of the members of the naughty parrot gang.

Nichols told BBC News that the potty-mouthed birds would often swear in order to trigger a reaction from the passing zoo visitors. Because of this, whenever a park visitor burst into laughter or some other bird reacted at the swears, the parrot gang would just start hurling even more bad words.

One of the parrots would splurt out a swear word and another would laugh at it and then they would just carry on repeating the process. Many visitors found it really funny and amusing to hear a gang of parrots swear at them, but Nichols says they decided to move them because of the kids who would visit the park.

Nichols also added that he's hoping the mischievous parrots will learn different words within their new colonies which would cause them to swear at least a bit less than before. He's also aware of the chance that the parrots will teach the other nice parrots bad language and the park would end up with 250 loud swearing birds.

Aside from this naughty parrot gang, the Lincolnshire Wildlife Park is also the home for Chico, the yellow-crowned Amazon parrot who went viral for his beautiful rendition of Beyonce's song "If I Were a Boy".

In the video, you can see Chico sitting in his cage while putting on the performance of a lifetime with his perfect vocals. The park visitors can be heard laughing in the background as they listen to his singing.

Chico puts on quite a performance for a cheering crowd.

This is quite a story to read or hear about, I can only imagine how it felt to the visitors who were lucky enough to visit the zoo before the gang split up. It must be a hilarious experience to listen to a group of parrots swearing their hearts out as you walk around the park.

It's even better telling the story to someone else who probably won't believe you unless you bring some evidence. I wonder how the group is doing now and whether or not they changed their naughty ways.
