• Eight potty-mouthed parrots are set to rejoin the rest of their flock at the Lincolnshire Wildlife Park in Boston, United Kingdom, after zoo officials decided that recent efforts to help the dirty birds clean up their act in isolation had shown promise.
Steve Nichols, who serves as chief executive of the park, still isn't sure what will happen when the birds are reunited with their more well-behaved peers.
"We could end up with 100 swearing parrots on our hands," Nichols said. "Only time will tell."
For now, the park does not plan to take down its signs warning visitors of the potential for foul language.
