Dame Judi Dench Discusses Parrot's Colorful Language

Dame Judi Dench, the celebrated British actress, is known for her illustrious career as well as her amusing pet parrot, Sweetie, who has a penchant for using colorful language. Dench reveals in interviews that Sweetie, her African grey parrot, often calls her 'a slut' and 'a slag,' which she attributes to the bird's habit of listening to the radio rather than learning from her. The parrot, a gift received during the pandemic, has also humorously insulted her housekeeper and her grandson's girlfriend. Despite Sweetie's foul mouth, Dench finds her pet delightful and asserts that everyone should have a parrot for their impressive vocal abilities. As Dench approaches her 90th birthday, she reflects on her life with gratitude, choosing to focus on her good fortune and health rather than the milestone age.
