Charlie may be old and losing his feathers but he can still swear like a trooper...

[Zuerst]

Saw this on another forum and thought I'd post it here...

Winston Churchill's female parrot named Charlie can still swear like a trooper..... her feathers may be dropping out but this 104 year old birds mind is still active:

My Blue/Gold BoBo cant swear but it can bark just like the dog next door and mimic the phone ringing. BoBo's vocabulary is only limited to "Hello" and it thinks that it can get anything by saying this. Like if im eating something and BoBo wants some it nods its head and says Hello. Large macaws typically live 60-80 years in captivitiy.

Sorry folks, old news and revealed long ago as a big fake (hoax): Churchill never had a parrot like this. And ask an animal expert: Parrots don't get that old (it's claimed to be 104!)

with the updated addition that the lady from Reigate garden center said that this parrot never made any swears - just an invention of the press
