Speaking of parrots or...ahhh....parrots speaking.....here's a good one.

A man bought a parrot from a pet store. The man didn't know it, but this parrot uses swear words all day long! He can swear for five minutes straight without repeating himself. The problem is that the man who bought him is a quiet, conservative man, and the bird's foul mouth is driving him crazy.
One day, the man got very angry at the parrot, so he grabbed the bird by the throat, shook him really hard, and yelled, "STOP IT !"

But that just made the bird mad and he swore more than ever.

So the man got angrier and said, "FINE! Swear all you want!" and he put the bird in the closet.

Now the parrot was really angry, so when the man let him out of the closet, he scratched him and bit him. He also swore a long string of swear words.

At that point, the guy got so mad that he threw the bird into the freezer!

For the first few seconds, there were terrible noises coming from the freezer. The bird kicked and clawed and swore. Then suddenly, it got very very quiet....

At first, the guy just waited, but then he started to think that the bird may be hurt or dying. So, after a couple of minutes of silence, he was so worried that he opened the freezer door.

The bird quietly climbed out of the freezer onto the man's arm and said: "I'm very sorry about the trouble I gave you. I'll do my best to improve my vocabulary from now on." The parrot was shaking because he was scared.

The man was astounded. He couldn't understand the transformation that came over the parrot.

Then with a shaking voice, the parrot said, "May I ask one question sir? What did the chicken do?"
