Churchill's Parrot Keeps Cursing Nazis

She's a ripe old 104 years of age, her onetime owner is long dead and Hitler's Nazis were wiped out in 1945, but Winston Churchill’s parrot is still fighting World War II and cussing out the enemy.

Churchill named her Charlie after he bought her in 1937 despite the fact that she's a female, perhaps because she's not quite ladylike when she matters F.... Hitler or F.... Nazi's in a voice remarkable Churchillian, not surprising since he worked hard teaching her the vile vocabulary that makes her unique.

According to Britain's lively Mirror tabloid, Charlie regularly shocked England's high and mighty when she let loose a string of the profanity the mischievous wartime Prime Minister taught her and delighted hearing when she cussed her little heart out in shocked mixed company.

Alone in the midst of Churchillain pets including lambs, pigs, cattle, swans and, at one point, a leopard, Charlie had a voice.

After Churchill's death in 1965 Peter Oram bought her for his pet shop but not long after he had to take her to his garden center in Reigate, Surrey because she insisted on cussing a blue streak in front of customer's children. She has lived there for the last 12 years.

Still lively at 104, Charlie is beginning to show her age according to Sylvia Martin who works in Oram's garden center. "If truth be told, Charlie is looking a little scruffy but she is very popular with the public," Martin told Jack Magazine, adding that "We are all very attached to her."

Added James Humes, an expert on the late Prime Minister: "Churchill may no longer be with us but that spirit and those words of defiance and resolve continue."

Experts say that Charlie is Britain's oldest and only anti-Nazi bird.
