Rude parrot is addicted to saying w*nker

A parrot is driving its owners up the wall because it only says one word – w*nker.

Aaron and Kate Lenihan taught Grey African parrot Charlie to say dozens of words when they bought him as a baby.

But Charlie picked up the swearword from Aaron and became hooked on it.



Kate said: "It's really embarrassing when friends come round to visit because he's always calling them rude words.

"Sometimes they give it back to him but that only makes him more cheeky so they tend to be offended."

The Lenihans are so ashamed of their pet that they have put him up for sale.
