> of

> to "clean up" the bird's vocabulary.

> In desperation, John threw up his hands, grabbed the bird and put him

>in

> the freezer.

>

> For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed.

> Then suddenly there was total quiet.

> Not a peep was heard for over a minute.

> The parrot calml! y stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said,
