Potty-mouthed 'Samuel L. Jackson' parrot up for adoption

FALL RIVER, Mass. (WPRI) — A “loud and explicit” parrot has been causing quite the stir at a Massachusetts animal shelter.

Hendrix, a blue-and-yellow macaw, was recently surrendered to the Forever Paws Animal Shelter in Fall River, Massachusetts.

“Our knowledge is limited, but what we do know is that they kept him for approximately 20 years,” Forever Paws shared in a recent social media update. “When he arrived at our facility, his diet consisted of human cereal, white bread, sunflower seeds, and animal crackers.”

The lack of a proper diet is likely why he’s “mostly naked,” according to the animal shelter.

But it’s not Hendrix’s blatant nudity that’s raising eyebrows at Forever Paws.

“The thing to understand is that adopting Hendrix is akin to adopting Samuel L. Jackson,” the animal shelter elaborated. “This bird is not for the faint-hearted; he’s got a mouth that requires parental guidance, much like a sour patch kid where one half is sweet and the other half is pure mischief.”

Forever Paws said Hendrix has a vocabulary that’s “not for the faint of heart.”

“He’ll express gratitude with a ‘thank you’ when offered treats, yet he’s not shy about telling you to hush,” Forever Paws remarked. “He can be completely endearing one moment and then do a complete 180, catching you off guard with a rude remark.”

“But we love him and he dances to music so we forgive him,” the animal shelter continued, emphasizing that Hendrix didn’t get his so-called “potty mouth” from them.

Though Hendrix is currently up for adoption, Forever Paws told Nexstar’s 12 News the animal shelter has received dozens of applications for him.

The goal is for Hendrix to find his forever home this weekend, according to the animal shelter. But Forever Paws plans to open up applications for him again should none of the potential adopters be the perfect fit.
