News of Winston Churchill's talking parrot has come to light in the Daily Mirror, which reveals Charlie still utters his favorite sayings "Fuck Hitler" and "Fuck the Nazis".

Charlie, who is actually a female parrot, has outlived her owner by 39 years.

Churchill is said to have bought her back in 1937 and immediately began to teach her to swear, especially in public.

"Many an admiral or peer of the realm was shocked by the tirade from the bird's cage during crisis meeting with the PM. But it always brought a smile to the leader's face," says the Mirror.

Charlie is a blue and gold macaw, and is thought to be the oldest bird in Britain, having been born in the 19th century.

When Churchill died in 1965, Peter Oram bought Charlie from a pet shop, but he was soon forced to move her to his local garden centre in Reigate, Surrey after the bird kept swearing at his children.

Apparently Charlie goes down a treat with the customers, regularly telling them to "Fuck Hitler".

Which should boost sales.

"Churchill may no longer be with us but that spirit and those words of defiance and resolve continues," said James Humes, and expert on Churchill.

Careless squawks cost lives, people.
