Here is a funny story.
I am telling this in my own words, so I hope it makes sense. I heard this on daytime TV news.
The story is about a cockatoo, a pretty white bird. This bird was from a normal home of four.
A mom, dad, and two teenagers , a boy and girl. Mom was a church worker with lot of friends from the
church. Dad was in a country club with friends that played golf a game of poker ever now and then.
The teenagers was all into their school friends.
Back to the bird. This was a talking cockatoo and was a very smart bird. He knew over three thousand
words and knew what they all mean. In other words this bird can speak English. He could tell on you if he wanted to.

Back to me. when I heard this story on TV I laugh so hard that my face hurt. I miss some of the end of the piece because
of my laughing.

Mom sometimes, like when she broke a dish or something like that would let a cuss word or two slip out.
Dad too when he got pissed would cuss. I know you know where this is going, but just hang in here for a few minutes.
The teenagers thought it was a hoot the the bird knew what cussing was a when you should cuss. So them and their friend
would come over in the afternoon before mom and dad would get home and talk for the bird and laugh cut up and call each other
bad names use some very bad language.

Well now the bird would join in. Like one time when the son had a friend over for the evening meal and
work on a book report, they was loud and messing with the bird. The bird told them to "Shut the f*** up"

Hang on we haven't got to the story yet. Just setting the stage.

Soon the dad and mom seen that this could get them in a very embarrassing moment.
After talking it over they made a very hard decision. They had to find their love one a new home.

Mom spoke with the folks at the local zoo. They agreed to give the cockatoo a good home at the zoo
in the bird habitat. The bird habitat was big and had a lot of other birds that live there. They only seen the care keeper
when they fed them and clean the floor each day. The cockatoo only talked bird talk and set up in the trees with the other birds.
The zoo visitors could see them but but they were not very close to them.
After some time passed it came time to upgrade and enlarge to bird habitat. They put the birds in a big cage and hung them
out side over the monkey habitat. Teddy was a monkey that claim that part of the habitat as his territory did not like the birds
hanging in his turf.

This is when the stuff hit the fan.
The monkey set out to run the birds off, out of his territory. The monkey after hollowing, jumping up and down, took matters in
own hands. He threw some of his poop at the birds. Birds squawked, and the monkey got some fresh poop and threw
it. The cockatoo said "cut that out" This scared the monkey. He heard English and thought it was somebody.
The bird said "get out of here" "go away" The monkey was still jumping up and down raising cane.

Meanwhile the construction workers that where working on the bird habitat heard all the fuss.
The bird is talking. What the matter bird? The Bird said "the damn monkey is throwing shit."
This is when I lost it and laugh so hard I missed the next few minutes.
The Lady with zoo that had the bird on the news program had to take the bird home with her till
all the work was done, because all the worker were doing playing the bird.

The bird would not say anything on the show. They had the three second delay in place and tried to get him
to say things, but he just set there watching the people.

If I didn't tell it right and you didn't laugh, I guess you had to be there.

Sounds like it was based on this news article. The animal park says she is a good girl.
