A woman was browsing a pet shop when she spotted a magnificent, vibrant parrot. It was easily the most beautiful bird in the store, yet the price tag on its cage read a mere £50.
Intrigued, she called the shop owner over. “Why is this gorgeous bird so incredibly cheap?”
The owner rubbed the back of his neck nervously. “Well, ma’am, I should be honest with you. This parrot used to live in a notorious brothel. Because of that, he occasionally says some pretty scandalous things.”
The woman laughed it off. Figuring it would just be a quirky conversation starter, she bought the parrot, took him home, and hung his cage right in the center of the living room. Then, she waited to see what he would do.
The bird looked around the pristine living room, locked eyes with her, and squawked, “New house, new madam.”
The woman gasped, a bit shocked by the implication, but then smiled. “Honestly, that’s not too bad,” she muttered.
An hour later, her two teenage daughters walked through the front door after school. The parrot immediately sat up, looked them up and down, and announced: “New house, new madam, new girls.”
Though the daughters were a little offended, the mother explained the bird’s colorful background, and the three of them ended up giggling about the bizarre situation.
A few moments later, the front door opened again. The husband, Keith, walked into the living room, exhausted from a long day at work.
The parrot stared at him, ruffled its feathers, and squawked enthusiastically:
“Oh! Hey there, Keith!”
