Mum's shock as toy parrot swears at daughter, fiveA mother says she was stunned when a cuddly parrot toy she bought for her young daughter let fly with a string of foul mouthed obscenities and swear words. Mum Tara Weston, 32, bought the innocent-looking soft toy as a gift from the children's section of The 99p Store, in Seven Sisters Road, Holloway.
But she was forced to cover the ears of five-year-old daughter Demi when the X-rated plaything squawked: "I'm going to rip you head off and s*** down your neck", "b****r off" and "up your bum".
Ms Weston, of Carleton Road, Holloway, said: "It's just a cuddly, fluffy little parrot but it's got a cord that you pull and it comes out with all this bad language. It's disgusting. I bought it from the pound shop because it was in the kids section. I don't want my five-year-old child hearing words like that."
The shocked mum immediately went back to complain about the 99p toy - made in China and marketed for adults under the name Polly The Insulting Parrot. "They said it was a mistake," said Ms Weston. "The manager said it was an adult toy and he'd take them all off the shelves."
