Foul mouthed old bird

Did you know that Blue and Gold Macaws can live to be over 100 years old? They can you know. Take Charlie for instance, which used to belong to some guy called Winston Churchill.

The British wartime leader's faithful companion, Charlie the parrot, is still squawking out anti-Hitler jibes at the grand old age of 104.

Thanks to Churchill's patient tutelage, her favourite curses remain "**** Hitler" and "**** the Nazis".

Astonishing.

Maybe not. Posted by JohnJo at January 19, 2004 02:44 PM | TrackBack
