We face eviction after neighbours complained about us having 8 swearing parrots in our council house
NEIGHBOURS want this family and their eight noisy parrots polly-gone.
The Godsons are being threatened with eviction from their council home after beaky locals complained.
They reckon the seven macaws and an African grey shout and swear outside in their aviary.
Dad-of-five Pete Godson, 43, and wife Andrea, 41, have even spent £1,000 on a jungle room in their four-bed home for the rescued birds to spend time indoors.
But the winged beauties – called Jasper, Ede, Freddie, Pablo, Little Roy, Willow, Barney and Elvis – have annoyed neighbours with their squawks of “hello,” “shut that door,” “go away” and “oh yeah”.
Locals say they can’t stand the nattering when the creatures are put in the aviary outside their housing association home.

Highways inspector Pete, of Hemel Hempstead, Herts, said: “I can hardly order the parrots to keep quiet.
“Barney has picked up some choice phrases, such as ‘Shut the f**k up you effing b’ and ‘What a w***er’, but none of that happens outside.”
“These birds are like children to us, they are part of the family. I would do everything in my power to keep them.
“The local kids and everyone loves them. They sit on their shoulders and let everyone tickle and stroke them.

“And they are fantastic in keeping my children relaxed and calm.”
