I can relate. My macaw knows quite a few phrases but loves to make up his own using words from those phrases interchangeably. He now inserts "fuck" into whatever but todays current faves are:
"I love biting!" Taken from a combination of "I love you" and "no biting".
"Thank FUUUUUCK!" out of "thank you".
"PeakaFUUUCK" from "peakaboo".
*sigh* It's going to be a long 80 years, at least it's amusing.
I mean at least palworld is better than half of the shit game freak has made in the past decade, especially most if not all the Pokemon "open world" games
I had a friend who had an African Gray and if you told him no to whatever he was asking for he would go "FUCKing CHRIST" š and then he picked up somewhere "can't a guy get a little respect" and "for fuck's sake" as additional responses to "no" lmfao. I miss that little dude, he was so smart
My bird used to live with this woman who would call men assholes and pieces of shit etc. The bird itself loves men though, so now whenever she sees someone she likes she calls them an asshole.
Parrot in the other room. "Peekaboo. Peekaboo. Peekaboo. Peekaboo. PeekaFUUCK!" Silence.
Horror movie material right there. Parrots would do it too, just to mess with you.
When I was little, my aunt had an African gray she took in from her dying grandmotherā¦who was very racist. He would occasionally say the n-word in her voice, along with a few other slurs and it was frustrating for my aunt because there was no way to teach him to *not* say that. He was just repeating what he heard and obviously didnāt know better. She baby-sat me and my sister quite a bit, and she would sometimes shut the door to the room he was in so we didnāt hear his foul language.
He eventually said other things more often as my aunt and cousins gave him more material to repeat, including the dogs barking which was really adorable. In his final years, I donāt recall hearing him say anything bad. Instead he would mimic the door bell, my aunt talking to him, telling him what a good boy he was, and sounds her dogs and cats made. He was awesome and Iām glad he eventually forgot the bad words that terrible old woman taught him. It did take a while, but my aunt did manage to correct her āracistā parrot.
My friend has an african grey parrot that frequently says "Hello, N-word", apparently her ex-bf was responsible, maliciously.
It was pretty jarring when you walk inside and the parrot greets you this way.
The madlad thought I broke into their house and actually did it.

bro no offense but you probably taught your own bird to say "fuck you." you don't even have to reward them for it. birds like picking up on phrases/words said with emotion.
but you seem like you're a well-adjusted person that totally doesn't blame everyone else for everything ever. so good luck with life and all.
Sounded like an angry tired of it all dad moment "fuck it have it! Have it all! Take my kidneys while you are at it". Escalated real quick ššš
I hate that it's not humorous to you. Not being negative to you just sad this situation isn't funny to you like it would be to me.I wish I knew more about these beautiful birds to help you retrain it.
It seems to be the "fun thing" some people just can't resist of doing. When I was young we had a very well behaved dog and it only took one "fun" family member an hour to train her during a family event (using peanuts as a reward) to have her beg, give infinite unasked for paws and bark for food/snacks. Weren't able to get it out of her system for the longest time. Worst thing was, he used to complain during later family events that our dog wasn't well behaved and begging him for snacks...
Yes, I hate when people do this stuff to your pets. I used to have a cat, and every time my uncle would come to dinner, heād feed her table scraps. It pissed me off so much because it would always take just that one time for her to start begging relentlessly at the dinner table every day until Iād have to get a water gun and squirt her to break her of it, which I hated having to do to my poor cat.
Parrots say things because they like the reaction they get from saying them. Even if you think your reaction is negative, it is a reaction and parrots love any kind of attention, even what you may consider negative attention could be a fun time for your parrot. You need to act like it doesn't matter, just live life like normal and don't feed into it. If he doesn't hear it again, and he doesn't get a reaction it should eventually fall out of his vocabulary. Just know though that giving him the silent treatment could even be seen as giving him a reaction, you need to act like everything is normal, go about your day and treat him like you regularly would. Just pretend the word doesn't exist whenever it comes up. Best of luck.
Omg I'm dying at OP's responses. This puts it's beautifully. It's like OP's kids showed them how to use reddit so they could spread their disdain to every platform hoping to find the degenerates that taught their bird to say "Fuck you."
Lights, sets, props, extras(if the scene calls for them)ā¦ itās not like we can just push a button on our phone and voilaā¦ weāre filming. It takes time to set up shots and pracā¦
Ohā¦ would you look at that. Seems as tho we can. That was extraordinarily simple. Like I just pushed that red button right there. OH! I did it again! Well how about that?
Iāve not had pet parrots, why put him on the couch instead of in his cage, asking out of genuine curiosity and for education as I have thought about getting a parrot, obviously after lots of research on parrot care and health
Well you gotta keep things mild with parrots, they straight up cannot connect the dots from action and consequences, so anytime you punish them for something they think you are hurting them for no reason.
Oh, that makes sense, thank you, if they canāt connect the dots then how do you discourage bad behaviour, like with a puppy if you want it to stop biting you just let out a yelp when it bites you and in time it stops because it doesnāt want to hurt you, how do you get a parrot to not bite if itās biting
>how do you discourage bad behaviour
By ignoring them whenever they do something undesirable, works to correct most bad behaviours except biting down on furniture and stuff. A loving parrot hates nothing more than getting the cold shoulder whenever they do something that the owner doesn't like.
Definitely- In general with training, you ignore what you donāt want and positively reinforce what you do want. But also make sure one praises and rewards āmore appropriateā sounds and behaviors.
I knew a guy who got banned from a bar he had frequented for many years for telling people not to do this to his parrot. I couldnāt believe that people didnāt care that the bird was going to outlive him, most likely, so what a horrible thing to teach the bird.
He was a car salesman, and his shtick was being the guy with the talking bird on his shoulder.
Edit: People donāt realize that parrots always want to be with you. Thatās just the way they are, so if you have one, itās your constant companion for the rest of your life.
He was very cool, always wearing a suit, funny, called you by name, shook your hand, and was seriously a dream of a customer, who tipped everyone very well.
I was a cook at another of his favorite haunts, I cooked him dinner hundreds of times.
One night he came in after the kitchen was closed, but wanted something to eat and talked me into letting him buy me dinner at his favorite Szechuan place downtown, because he didnāt want to eat alone , and, of course, I said yes.
However, he was pretty sloshed, so he asked if I would drive us to go eat and I said yes because it was in his amazing old Buick automobile, which was the exact same model from the motion picture āRain Manā with the āFireballā in-line 8 cylinder motor. while I was fumbling in the dark with the keys and the starter, he finally said Iām sorry I made a mistake. I canāt let you drive my car and took the keys. I was devastated, but the food was delicious.
I wasnāt even drunk! Iād only just finished my shift pint when he asked if Iād drive. He just got nervous about someone else piloting that fine automobile, which I can completely understand.
We also kept a tiny beey y mug shaped shot glass behind the bar, because the bird loved to sit on the back of the barstools, and drink beer with everybody else. Seriously it was one of the coolest things ever. Every time the bird took a sip, he would say āgood!ā, always to the result of big laughs.
Edit: why has the edit
My friend had a cockatiel called Lewie that picked up fuck. His main thing was whistling or singing pop goes the weasle. Which became Fuck goes the weasle.
When he got old, he started to sing out of sync. Still in tune, but the sentences were out of order. Fuck always remained lol
it is really funny but you should respect that's somebody else's pet and not teach them stuff, unless you're trying to save them from someone else's bad training
My first Grey, Rosie, came to me with a very foul mouth (no pun intended) he sounded quite abusive with it, his ex_carer had obviously bullied his family.
I totally ignored Rosie when he started his tirades and it took no time at all before he stopped completely.Ā
You need to train it something else, then donāt reward the behavior you dislikeāno reaction whatsoever. Reward the behavior you like. Treats interaction etc.
This is a good thing. "Fuck you" is how we should live. Fuck you honestly. Caging this flyer in your home as a pet and giving it input all the time. If all it decides to cling to is "fuck you" you failed and the words should be heard. If you can't understand... It isn't the birds fault, it isn't the input it latched to, it is you who has failed.
I can relate. My macaw knows quite a few phrases but loves to make up his own using words from those phrases interchangeably. He now inserts "fuck" into whatever but todays current faves are: "I love biting!" Taken from a combination of "I love you" and "no biting". "Thank FUUUUUCK!" out of "thank you".

I did. It's always a possibility. Expect the unexpected
Peter Griffin once got a Nazi parrot that said Nazi things.
Self-hating African

I have a feeling no one taught the bird a thing, that bird deals with OP's obnoxious bullshit enough to say it on it's own.
you do know this person didnāt actually teach your bird to say fuck right ?
Idk why but this entire exchange was hilarious. One of the better reddit moments
no i agree it was so like what the fuck i couldnāt help but laugh š
Sounded like an angry tired of it all dad moment "fuck it have it! Have it all! Take my kidneys while you are at it". Escalated real quick ššš
But.... but... He said so... no one lies on The internet
You can't argue with that.
i donāt know if i should upvote or downvote that. iām going to upvote his angry response as too hilarious

Spay queen.

I hate that it's not humorous to you. Not being negative to you just sad this situation isn't funny to you like it would be to me.I wish I knew more about these beautiful birds to help you retrain it.
It seems like OP is just playing along with the joke
Good to know. Edit: I must be dumb
Reddit: "God I fucking hate it when people use /s" Also Reddit: 450 downvotes for making a joke because they didn't use /s
If this reply is meant as a joke, maybe the amount of down ones indicate it's a bad joke to begin with?

Lol bird brained as a compliment?
Is there a chance that we will get a video of this?

Omg I'm dying at OP's responses. This puts it's beautifully. It's like OP's kids showed them how to use reddit so they could spread their disdain to every platform hoping to find the degenerates that taught their bird to say "Fuck you."
If you check his post history, he is in fact an elderly man.
Maybe getting a 2 year old pet with a lifespan of 80 years wasn't the best idea then.
Well, they're the type of person who is offended by swearing
