Answer 1

Right. It takes a while for a bird to learn a specific phrase. Admit it. You use this phrase all the time.

Start using another one, like "hi, beautiful people!" Eventually, your bird will start using this one.

Unfortunately, she'll probably intersperse it with fat b*****d...

Answer 2

Everytime your bird shouts an undesirable phrase you can try to find words that are similiar in sound or rhyme to say immediately after him.  Something like "Cat Blasters" would work.  Eventually the poor guy will give in and start saying Cat Blasters and hopefully forget the ugly stuff.

We've rescued many parrots and that is how we changed their undesirable words.  However, there were a few that we simply couldn't distract.... even with treats for reinforcement...  lol!
