Woman claims that neighbor's parrot is teaching her grandchildren to curse in Spanish

A parrot named Rula is at the heart of a dispute in Tracy, California, where one neighbor claims that the bird curses in Spanish.
Animal Control Services say they responded to the home more than a dozen times due to complaints over noise from the parrot and barking from the owner's dogs. However, Animal Services supervisor Ben Miller said officers have not personally heard profanity from Rula.
Rula's owner says that he does not curse, or speak Spanish, although he can imitate a variety of other noises. "He barks like a dog and meows like a cat," said Rita Canisales. "He can sound like a drill or sound like a waterfall." However, neighbor Jessica Baca said the bird has repeated a word meaning "prostitute" in Spanish multiple times,

This has allegedly caused her grandchildren to repeat the word. Canisales says that Baca is not hearing Rula correctly, that the bird is actually uttering its own name, which rhymes with the term Baca is referring to. She said she has never taught the bird any Spanish.
