My husband used to get his hair cut in a shop with a parrot. One day he was in there and a woman had her little boy with her. She and the boy approached the parrot and people began urging the parrot to say hello. "Say something to the little boy" "Say hi""Talk to the little boy". So the parrot cocked his head, gazed at the little boy for a moment, and clearly said "F#@# You". The mother got the boy away from the bird as fast as she could.
Aesop would probably take this opportunity to remind us: Be careful what you ask for.
