It seems strange to me that a mother would buy a toy without testing to see what it says. Maybe it's just the kid in me that likes to play with everything in the toy isle that makes noise, but it doesn't sound like she put much thought into the gift for her daughter. Did she just grab any ol toy off the shelf to give it to her kid.
Don't get me wrong, the store still should not have had them in the kids' section, but the mom should take at least a little responsibility. |

I live in Portsmouth in the UK. Portsmouth is a navy town and used to have a big birdcage with Mynah birds, in a park that was really close to the Naval base.
You can just imagine what used to fall out of their poopy mouths!
Children had to be kept away! Anyone within range was verbally abused by a bunch of skate trained talking birds!
V funny.

If there are noise making toys on display, the wife and I try to get them all going at the same time. :-D

A lady walks into a pet store to buy a parrot, named Polly if you must know.
Store owner says he won't' sell her the parrot because it cusses, but finally gives in after long pleading by the woman.
Two weeks later the woman calls and wants to return the parrot because it cusses too much. Shop owner refuses but suggest she put the parrot in the freezer for one minute, ... exactly.
After a minute, she cracks the door and asks the parrot if it will stop cussing. "Yes, M'amm!' say the parrot.
She takes the parrot out and the parrot says, "M'amm, may I ask a question?'
She agrees.
Parrot says, "I understand you put me in the freezer because of my cussing. My question is this ... what did the chicken do?" |

Time for the "Monty Python Dead Parrot Routine" yet? : )
Good story about the foul mouth bird toy. One of my birds, the one on my profile page, used to tell the other birds to "Shut UP!" about three times, then he would shout, "Shut the F&*^ UP!"
I have not heard him do that now for a long time, so maybe he has either forgotten it, or just doesn't need to say it anymore.

A woman wanted a pet so she went to the local pet shop. She looked at the dogs and the cats but finally settled on a parrot that was perched in the back of the store for $50.00.
She asked the shopkeeper why the parrot was so cheap, to which he replied, "well, i have to tell you, the birds last owner was a madam at a whorehouse and he occasionally makes off color remarks that may offend some people."
Thinking that the price was right and she could handle anything he might say, she took him. When she got home she set the bird down on the table. He looked around and said, "new house, new madam". "That's not so bad," she thought. A little while later, her daughters got home from school, and the parrot spoke again, "new house, new madam, new whores."
Even though she felt a little insulted, she thought that wasn't so bad either. later that evening, her husband ray came home. The parrot again spoke out... this time it said, "Hi Ray!"
The woman met with a divorce attorney the next day.
