1. Details of the background of the incident
Recently, there was an incident of a parrot scolding a tourist in the Yunnan Wildlife Park. It is reported that when a tourist went to the parrot exhibition area to interact with the parrot that day, a macaw named "Little Flower" suddenly shouted and cursed, and his language was very rude, causing the visitor and other tourists around to be surprised. This macaw named "Little Flower", female, 5 years old, has been living in the zoo for 3 years. The incident happened around 10 a.m. on Sunday, when the parrot exhibit was heavily crowded.
2. Analysis of the cause of the incident
In response to this matter, the relevant person in charge of the zoo said that they are also investigating the cause of the incident. According to the person in charge, the macaw is a very intelligent bird that is able to learn human language through imitation. They don't understand the meaning of the language and simply repeat what they hear. Therefore, if they hear inappropriate language, it can be misleading. The zoo will strengthen the management and training of parrots to prevent them from learning inappropriate language.
In addition, experts point out that there are certain rules that visitors need to follow when interacting with animals. Behaviors such as using inappropriate language or approaching animals suddenly can cause panic and discomfort in animals, leading them to behave abnormally. Visitors should interact with the animals in a civilized and polite manner and not disturb or frighten them.
