Winston Churchill's 104-year-old parrot is still alive and cursing

The parrot Winston Churchill bought in 1937 is still alive, and her voice sounds like Churchill's.
Her favourite sayings were "F*** Hitler" and "F*** the Nazis". And even today, 39 years after the great man's death, she can still be coaxed into repeating them with that unmistakable Churchillian inflection.

UPDATE: Jason sez: This went round a while back, and turned out to be probably false.
