A grey parrot with a penchant for turning the air blue has got her neighbours in a flap - and her owner threatened with eviction.
Sparky, an African grey, has been known to squawk out a string of expletives, along with rude comments such as, "show us your knickers".
Mother-of-three Paula Bedford said City of York Council had threatened to evict her family because of noise complaints by neighbours over the unruly bird.
A spokeswoman for City of York Council said: "Due to her previous behaviour, Ms Bedford's tenancy has been changed from a secure tenancy to a demoted tenancy.
"This means that if she fails to comply with the council's guidelines concerning tenants' behaviour within the next 12 months, she will be evicted."
"I can confirm that the parrot issue was discussed with Ms Bedford at the review meeting held at her home."
