'Depressed' parrot swears after finding new home


A "depressed" parrot that refused to talk when its owner died has started swearing after finding a new home, the RSPCA said.

Jesse, an African grey parrot, was taken to Ashley Heath Animal Centre in Dorset when his owner died.

The nine-year-old had also started to pluck out his own feathers.

His new owner, animal behaviourist Rachel Leather, said as well as swearing he was also making farting noises and playing with his toys.

He's adorable!
Glad he's getting better.

"I think he's lived with a dog called Wellard in his previous home, or watched a lot of EastEnders, because he calls both of my dogs Wellard.

"He also says, 'Jesse's a good boy', and then occasionally replaces that with, 'Jesse's a good girl' and laughs."

He does sound like he's got a really good sense of humour!

Happy to know Jesse has started playing with his toys. Indeed we are to surprised and impressed often seeing the deep love of the pet to its owner.

I didn't believe in reincarnation before, but damn that, I'm coming back as a parrot.
