Parrot aficionado. Can confirm you could definitely train parrots to be racist. They’ll even be racist (or sexist) naturally if they have a bad experience with someone and decide it’s because “that kind of person” is bad. I got a bird that was 6 years old and it was misogynist. I thought the clerk was joking when they asked “it’s not a gift for a girl, right? This one only likes guys.” Friendly as can be with guys, but if women try to interact with her, chomp chomp motherfucker.

I also remember a story about a macaw (those big parrots with the bare patch around the eye, probably what you think of when you hear the word “parrot”) that got donated to a zoo after its racist old owner died. They had to take it off public display because it kept yelling racial slurs at guests. *Accurate* racial slurs. It knew who to call what.

Birds don’t give a shit about social justice. If they wanna be bigots they’ll be fucking bigots.
