Bird shouts expletives at zoo visitors, gets put in the hole

A cursing myna bird is seriously wishing China would get on the free-speech bandwagon after being banished to solitary confinement for shouting "F*ck you!" at zoo visitors. The creature was part of a special display at Jiufeng Forest Zoo, along with three other feathered linguistic prodigies, and scored top marks for chatting with guests and singing songs. Once it started swearing, though, prissy trainers weren't amused, claiming rude visitors corrupted the little guy and taught him the dirty words. Now the bird has been separated from its comrades and will be subjected to recordings of prim and proper Miss Manners-worthy conversations and have its bird food taken away if it cusses. [Source]
