Potty-mouthed parrot who calls drinkers ‘w***ers’ after learning obscenities from boozers is huge hit at Cornwall pub
A PARROT who calls drinkers “w***ers” is a hit at his pub.
African grey Frosty has lived with Scott Sowden since a chick and learned obscenities from customers.
Landlord Scott, 57, said: “He will say ‘hello’ then ‘f*** off’ but his favourite word is ‘w***er’. I think he means it affectionately. He likes the ring of the word.
“We had the Conservative club in recently, 12 of them sat on tables next to his cage and he wouldn’t stop saying it.
“It can be embarrassing when kids are around but they mostly don’t understand it.”
Guests book stays at the Vyvyan Arms Hotel in Camborne, Cornwall, just to see Frosty, 19.
Scott has been offered £3,000 for him but said: “He’s a part of the pub. We love him here.”
It comes after another pub parrot was last year dubbed Britain’s rudest pet.
Louie, an African Grey, would use so much foul language owner Andy Ashby, 50, was forced to put up a sign warning customers.
Andy said: “He’s got Tourette’s, bless him.
“He swears the most when he wants to be noticed.
“If it’s all quiet he’ll go on a massive rant and start bouncing up and down and nodding his head.
“It comes over him in the spur of the moment. He just goes on one.
“We had bingo the other night and when Legs Eleven came up he whistled.
“The bingo caller told him to shut up and he told him to ‘f*** off’.”
However Andy says Louie has brought some personality to the Nailmakers Arms, the Sheffield boozer he has run for the past eight months.
