| Fowl-Mouthed Parrot | comment |
Parrots, mynahs, crows, and some other birds have a well-known ability to mimic many of the sounds they hear. Thus, it shouldn't be surprising that some of them learn to cuss like a sailor. This is primarily a comedy trope, used for a laugh as the parrot's embarrassed owner tries frantically to shut the bird up. It's also Truth in Television. Because parrots live for a very long time, most parrot owners are advised not to swear around them so that when the owner dies, the parrot doesn't have trouble finding a new home. For some reason, most prospective pet owners don't want their bird swearing at them. A common variation seen in works aimed at kids (or otherwise vulnerable to censorship) is for the parrot to learn non-profane words that are, nevertheless, still insults or otherwise not meant for polite conversation. This is a sister trope to Not in Front of the Parrot!, where the bird repeats something important it overheard such as the combination to a safe or a villain's Evil Plan. Do not confuse this trope with actual talking animals (including the parrot-specific subtrope Polly Wants a Microphone); this trope is about mimicry of profanity. Compare to Innocent Swearing, where the one doing the parroting is a sapient being (usually a kid) that doesn't understand that it shouldn't say such things. |

While marooned in the South China Sea in one of the Destroyermen books, Silva discovers a flying lizard that takes a liking to him, much to his chagrin. Being an enlisted man, Silva swears a lot, in particular calling the parrot equivalent a "stupid shit". You can probably see where this is going. | |

Adam-12: "Training Wheels" has Reed and Malloy stop a hippy microbus that ran a stop sign. In the conversation, a high-pitched "Down with the pigs!" can be heard. Eventually, the driver opens the back of the car to reveal the speaker: a mynah bird belonging to his cop-hating girlfriend. They let it pass and just give him a warning. | |

One sketch on The Benny Hill Show features a woman pulling the cover off of a birdcage with a parrot inside. The parrot begins mildly cursing when the woman notices her priest coming over to her flat. She quickly pulls the cover back over the birdcage and invites the priest in... just in time for the parrot to exclaim, "Bloody hell! What a short day that was!" | |

On My Name Is Earl, Darnell revealed that back in the day before he got put into Witness Protection, he shared an apartment with a man who was a porn star. He is now married to the governor of whatever state Camden is located in, and she got him a job as the warden of the state prison. A porn movie was being filmed in the apartment just as Darnell returned. He was OK with that, but asked if he could put a cloth over Mr. Parrot's cage. | |

The Army Game: In "Snudge's Budgie", the boys from Hut 29 have to acquire a budgie to replace Snudge's after Bootsie lets it escape. They invoke this trope by using ventriloquism to make a tea shop owner believe her budgie has suddenly acquired a very foul mouth and offering to dispose of it for her. At the end of the episode, Snudge's real budgie is returned to him by a sailor who captured it, and has been trying to teach it to speak, with the result that it now swears like, well, a sailor. | |

In the Spellsinger novel Time of the Transference, a couple of drug runners mistake the talking, intelligent Pirate Parrot Kamaulk (that is to say, he's a parrot who's a pirate) for this trope. They attempt to sell him to a Los Vegas casino but fail to realize that he's smart enough to open a car door, at which point he escapes. And is promptly eaten by some street bums who mistake him for an oddly green chicken. | |

The Murdoch Mysteries episode "Convalesce", wherein Constable Crabtree takes over Murdoch's job as detective while he heals from injuries, involved a parrot being the only witness to a murder.

1000 Ways to Die has a woman watching someone else's house while the owner was gone, and she has it to herself. But while kissing her boyfriend, the owner's cockatoo starts screeching, and she accidentally lets it outside. As she tries to get it back (and fails while dying), the bird while being grabbed squawks curses at her. | |

The Pokémon Chatot has an exclusive move called Chatter, which can be used in conjunction with the microphone of the Nintendo DS and later models to have it say something that the player records. It then fell victim to Video Game Perversity Potential, and the voice-recording feature was removed in Pokémon X and Y. | |

Tintin: A G-rated version happens in The Broken Ear. Tintin ends up with a parrot that spams his favorite insult "Great Greedy Guts!!!" In Red Rackham's Treasure, on the island near the Unicorn's shipwreck the heroes find the descendants of parrots who spent the last centuries transmitting to each other Sir Francis Haddock's vocabulary. Despite him leaving the island far long before the natives went extinct, and of course there was no copy degeneration over time. In The Castafiore Emerald, Captain Haddock receives a parrot as an unwanted gift from Castafiore. By the time she finally leaves, it has begin to imitate his unusual euphemisms, particularly "Blistering Barnacles!" |

In the Garrett, P.I. series, Garrett receives "the Goddamn Parrot" from his friend Morley. TGP's vocabulary primarily consists of appreciative but extremely vulgar descriptions of female anatomy, which he loves to indulge in whenever a woman comes to visit. Morley won't ever admit it, but it's an invoked example: he and his buddies must've spent weeks pre-loading the parrot with rude phrases before giving it to Garrett as a prank. In a grimmer example, Garrett's recollections about the time his Marine unit was stranded on a swampy tropical island include a mention of how the island's wild parrots would mimic the cries of wounded soldiers. Knowing soldiers' vocabulary in a crisis, this trope was probably involved. |

In one of Betty MacDonald's Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle stories, little girls who sass their parents and teachers have to deal with a parrot who says all those rude, ugly things. Not quite swearing, but still unacceptable; the girls learn how nasty they sound. | |

Ugly Americans: The manbirds are a race of half-bird/half-human hailing from an island in the South Pacific that were brought stateside by a taxi driver simply because he thought they were "hilarious as balls". They also picked up his cussing and eventually evolved their own language from it. The result is that "Manbirdese" is a language were the phrase "suck my balls" has more than 500 different meanings. It's also stated to be "the most difficult and least popular language in the world". | |

The Thinking Machine: In "The Lost Million", a parrot holds a vital clue to the mystery. However, the parrot had belonged to a misanthrope and constantly swears and is insulting. After a few days with the bird, the normally even-tempered Van Dusen hands it back to its new owner with the warning that if he ever sees it again, he is going to kill it. | |
