TL;DR

Foul-mouthed parrots at U.K.’s Lincolnshire Wildlife Park, known for their ability to swear, will undergo group therapy by being introduced to a larger group of proper parrots in the hope of curbing their cursing, as experts believe parrots easily mimic swear words due to their tone and context. The park acknowledges the risk of the bad habits rubbing off on the larger group.
