dont use inappropriate words around your birds its that simple,keep teaching good words and he might forget the bad ones but it will taks a long time,good luck.....tim p.s. you have to think if you need to sell him for what ever reason people wont buy him because of the bad language.

I had no idea that it would learn the word... I don't even use that word, but since he is in the living room and people sit, come and go there it makes me not surprised where it learned it... I definitely didn't teach him that word NEVER.
I'll never sell my Africangrey

I would just use nice words around him and when he says them, give him treats. When he says the naughty words, do not give him attention such as laughing etc It's embarrassing yes but don't stress over it!
