Guest guest Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Recently I received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitudeand an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's mouth wasrude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. I tried and tried to changethe bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playingsoft music and anything else I could think of to "clean up" thebird's vocabulary.Finally, I was fed up and I yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. I shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder. So,in desperation, I threw up my hands, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer.For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed.. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute. Fearing that I'd hurt the parrot, I quickly opened the door tothe freezer.The parrot calmly stepped out onto my outstretched arm and said, "Ibelieve I may have offended you with my rude language and actions.I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fullyintend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivablebehavior."I was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. As I wasabout to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior,the bird continued, "May I ask what the turkey did?"HAPPY THANKSGIVING AND BLESSINGS TO ALL!* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I started reading this.. and the part about the words and such.. I was going to write back to tell you that it would be nearly if not completely impossible to un-learn the parrot those words.. and that you should probably find and beat whomever taught the parrots those words to within an inch of his/her life.. LOL.. Should have known what was coming!!! Yup.. slow on the draw I am I am.. HUGS |)onna Recently I received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 ROFLMAO - I love it God, grant me the strength of eagles wings, the faith and courage to fly to new heights, and the wisdom to rely on his spirit to carry me there.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Yup.. you definitely got me with that one.. Maybe you were able to "get me" with it, because Earl has been trying desperately to get Roxie to say "Fire it up!"... and I have to keep lecturing him that she's going to outlive me.. and she will have to be re-homed.. and if she picks up HIS things.. I'm gonna kill him.. and there my mind was when I started reading it.. But it was quite funny HUGS |)onna I figured you would like this one, Donna.
