Five parrots at a British zoo have been separated after encouraging each other to insult and mock each other.
According to Lincolnshire Wildlife Park officials in England, none of the park’s visitors were bothered by the parrots’ strange behaviour, and most found them amused. The incident happened in 2020.
“When two parrots swear and then pretend to ‘laugh’ at each other, people have so much fun… It brought a big smile on everyone’s face in a very difficult year” – a visitor said.
Lincolnshire Wildlife Park has shared photos of the infamous parrots on their Instagram account.
However, the zookeepers thought it would be best to separate them for a while for the sake of the little ones and the children. Billy, Eric, Tyson, Jed, and Elsie are separated and moved to different parts of the wildlife center to prevent them from breeding each other.
However, a year ago, the infamous African Gray Parrots managed to return to the public. The zoo, which has the largest number of tigers and parrots in the whole of England, said in a statement that visitors demand to see and hear the funny animals again.
Over the course of two years, the five birds lived their daily lives with other parrots whose language did not even approach the vocabulary of Billy, Iris, Tyson, Jed and Elsie.
