And Finally...

Lincolnshire Wildlife Park hit headlines in 2020 when it had to move a group of five adopted African Grey Parrots into isolation due to their foul-beaked language.

They were returned to a public enclosure last year, but as the birds are still squawking expletives the park has just introduced them to around 100 other African Parrots in the hope it will ‘dilute’ their vocabulary.

However, chief executive Steve Nichols admits there is a chance the wider flock will start mimicking the smaller group, instead of the other way around.

He told Metro: ‘We could end up with 100 swearing parrots on our hands, we’ll just have to wait and see. It could be bedlam!’
