POTTY MOUTH POLLY
A PARROT in a park keeps telling members of the public to “f*** off”. African grey Caesar has even taught other parrots in his enclosure to swear.
Jogger Mark Swainson, 35, said: “The parrots usually greet you with a whistle and ‘Good morning’. But I couldn’t believe it when one said ‘f*** off’.
“I said, ‘What?’ and he repeated it.”
Michelle Trott, 51, said: “It was hilarious but people will have to be ready to cover their kids’ ears.”
Caesar lives in a caged Pets Corner in Saltwell Park, Gateshead.
Foreman Simon Lowery said: “Caesar’s a lovely bird but he’s been a bad influence on the others.
“No one has complained — we’re a fairly broad-minded bunch in the North East.”
