Tradição é uma coisa forte. Mais forte ainda é o tempo livre que certas pessoas têm.
Além de ter até patente e número militar, o papagaio já visitou até a Rainha. Naquela ocasião, os marinheiros ficaram preocupados com os "modos" do bicho, tipo falar algum palavrão na frente da velha.
Reportagem abaixo.

Navy Parrot Goes Back to Sea
By Chris Court, PA
Sunny, the swearing Royal Navy parrot, has rejoined her shipmates on a warship after seven months ashore, it emerged today.
The African Grey – currently the only serving parrot in the Navy – had to leave Type 23 frigate HMS Lancaster while she was undergoing a refit in Plymouth, Devon.
Sunny, whose service number is RN Parrot No.1, has now resumed her place in the wardroom among the officers.
Her keeper, Lieutenant Mari Duffy said today: “With the return of Sunny the parrot to HMS Lancaster the ship’s company now feels complete.”
Sunny became famous in March when she met the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh at Portsmouth Naval base.
At the time the ship’s company were worried about her squawking expletives when meeting the Royal couple.
But Sunny did not let them down and kept a civil tongue.
The warship’s crew was concerned because during a Middle East tour Sunny let loose a string of four letter words during a visit by Navy top brass – audible despite her being hidden in a broom cupboard.
Her volley of abuse was overheard by the fleet’ s Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Sir Alan West but he ignored her and carried on briefing the crew in the mess.
Sunny’s colourful language has become familiar aboard the frigate her vocabulary includes “b******s” and “arse”.
Among her other phrases are “You ain’t seen me, right” and “Zulus, thousands of ’em”.
HMS Lancaster is currently undergoing sea trials after completing a refit in Plymouth.
She is due to begin sea training in January next year and is scheduled to sail home to Portsmouth in March.
