When a North Carolina couple got their  Moluccan cockatoo, Peaches, from a previous owner, they soon noticed something odd. According to the Huffington Post, the bird would periodically go on long, seemingly curse-laden rants.

"We had Peaches for several days when one afternoon she began ranting and raving as if blessing someone out," the bird's new owner Elaine Sigmon told the Huffington Post. "My husband, Don, was sitting in the chair near her perch, and she began to aggressively point her head toward him just like someone pointing their finger while arguing ...We're not sure what she is saying, but she is really giving her opinion."

It didn't take them long to put the pieces together. The bird's former owners had divorced, and the bird seemed to be caught on an endless loop of their arguments.

Luckily, the Sigmons aren't worried about it.
