One of my favorites. Happy ‘Bird’ Day all.

A man is looking for the perfect gift for his girlfriend when he wanders into a pet store. There he sees the most beautiful parrot that he has ever seen for a very reasonable price, in fact downright cheap. When he asks the shop owner about the bird, he is told that yes it speaks. “However it was raised by a Navy Chief and that the language it speaks is rather crude. In fact it’s terribly embarrassing and I haven’t been able to correct it.”
Certain that he can change the ways of the bird in time for Christmas, the man agrees to buy the bird and then takes it home.
Over the next few weeks, he patiently corrects the bird’s improper language. The parrot refused to learn to speak nicely and roundly cussed him. After one long day of effort the man loses his patience with the bird and swats it on the tail. The bird responded with even fouler language than before. In total frustration and anger the man grabs the bird by the neck and throws it into his freezer and slams the door shut.
The bird responded with the most awful language yet for about ten minutes, then there was absolute silence. Fearful that he had killed this beautiful bird, the man cautiously opened the freezer door. The parrot politely asked to be let out. Once back on his perch the parrot said “Kind sir, I beg your indulgence for the improper language that I have been using and I also beg your forgiveness. I will never use that sort of language again. I humbly apologize and I’m very sorry, please forgive me and know it will never happen again.”
The man was shocked but happily agreed to forgive the parrot and expressed that he was looking forward to good behavior from the bird. Then the parrot spoke again “Please sir, if it isn’t too much trouble, may I know what the turkey did?”
