Yep just ignore him and he will stop saying the words.
: Help! My husband and I recently
: purchased a 2 year old African
: Grey from a classified ad in the
: local newspaper. We instantly
: shared a mutual bonding with
: "Polly", but there is
: one large problem. The bird
: frequently utters obscenities,
: beginning with the letters f and
: s and 2 or 3 other
: non-pleasantries. We have two
: small children, ages 1 1/2 and
: 3, and our oldest has already
: started to imitate the bird's
: foul language. We called the
: previous owner, who claims
: ignorance on the bird's
: knowledge of such bathroom
: words. He also informed us that
: "a deal is a deal" and
: he won't take the bird back.
: Getting rid of the bird would be
: a last resort, because the 4 of
: us really do love him, awful
: language and all. Is there any
: way we can break him of this
: horrible habit? We are beside
: ourselves! Any and all help is
: greatly appreciated! Thanks.
