It's NOT pining for the fjords! 

The Times reports that a particularly foul-mouthed parrot at the Warwickshire Wildlife Sanctuary has been placed in solitary confinement for his scandalous swearing.
"We don't know who taught him the words, but he seems to have a problem with authority figures," said Ms Clark.

"When he saw the policemen coming, he said: 'Hello, you two w*****s'. He told the mayoress and the lady vicar to f*** off. He stands on the top of his cage swaying his head backwards and forwards, singing 'B*****ks', "B*****ks'."
I've heard several similar stories about parrots in India, but I've never been sworn at myself by one of them. Has any of you, dear readers?
