Addae the African Grey Parrot tries to chose his words wisely when he finds out that some words are rude!

The Four-Letter Word Excerpt:
The Ahway Island Animal Shelter was a cozy haven for pets of all types. Furry, feathery, and scaly friends found love and care at the shelter while awaiting their forever homes. In the main room of the shelter perched a curious African Grey Parrot named Addae.
On this particular day, Addae found himself looking out over the main room of the shelter. It was sunny outside, and the big window at the front filled the room with a golden glow. The nice weather meant the people of Ahway Island were out and about. Often, they would pass by the shelter and take a peek at the animals through the window. Sometimes, they would even stop in to play!
