Forever Paws Animal Shelter in Fall River, Rhode Island, is searching for a new home for Hendrix, a 20-year-old parrot with a vocabulary described as “rated R.” Hendrix, rescued from a home where he suffered from malnutrition, is slowly regrowing his feathers on a healthier diet. However, his vocabulary consists mainly of curse words and slurs, with rare polite phrases like “thank you” and “good morning, baby.” Despite the bird’s colorful language, the shelter has received over 50 adoption applications and is currently in the process of selecting his new forever home. Hendrix’s unique personality and challenging vocabulary make him a distinctive addition to any household. (Upi)
