'F*** THE NAZIS!!', SAYS CHURCHILL'S PARROT
Topic: Miscellaneous 4:07 pm EST, Jan 19, 2004

] SHE WAS at Winston Churchill's side during Britain's
] darkest hour. And now Charlie the parrot is 104 years
] old...and still cursing the Nazis.
]
] Her favourite sayings were "F*** Hitler" and "F*** the
] Nazis". And even today, 39 years after the great man's
] death, she can still be coaxed into repeating them with
] that unmistakable Churchillian inflection.
]
] Many an admiral or peer of the realm was shocked by the
] tirade from the bird's cage during crisis meetings with
] the PM.
]
] But it always brought a smile to the war leader's face.
]
] Churchill bought Charlie - giving him a boy's name
] despite the fact she was female - in 1937.
]
] She took pride of place in a bizarre menagerie of pets
] including lambs, pigs, cattle, swans and, at one point, a
] leopard.
]
] He immediately began to teach her to swear - particularly
] in company - and she is keeping up the tradition today.
]
] The blue and gold macaw is believed to be Britain's
] oldest bird.
