Churchill's Parrot



Yes, you read the above correctly. Churchill's parrot.. as in Winston S. Churchill.

"Churchill bought Charlie - giving him a boy's name despite the fact she was female - in 1937."

"He immediately began to teach her to swear - particularly in company - and she is keeping up the tradition today."

(link via Tacitus)
