A foul-mouthed parrot, which blurts out expletives and pecks people when she's angry, is to be removed from a Royal Navy ship to spare any embarrassment during a visit by the Queen.
African-grey parrot Sunny will be sent ashore from HMS Lancaster so she doesn't ruffle any royal feathers when the queen and Prince Philip visit the ship on Friday, newspapers reported on Wednesday.
The frigate's 205-strong crew are determined to avoid a repeat of a recent visit by the fleet's commander-in-chief, when Sunny's four-lettered rantings could be heard even though she was locked in a cupboard.
