It didn't seem to understand, staring blankly at Shen Xin.
Shen Xin shouted it twice more, and it opened its beak and squawked out "dumbass" as well.
The pronunciation wasn't perfect, but it was unmistakably "dumbass."
Shen Xin was astonished. 'This little guy is truly one of the smartest species of bird. With vocal cords like a human, its ability to mimic speech is incredible.'
It had learned the word and began hopping back and forth on its perch, repeatedly squawking, "Dumbass."
Its calls grew clearer and clearer.
Ding Yuwei was speechless. "Can't you teach it something nice?"
Shen Xin picked up a fig and stuffed it in the parrot's beak.
It spat it out in one go.
Shen Xin offered it another, but it just turned its head and spat it out again.
'Heh, quite the personality.'
Shen Xin opened the cage and snatched it out.
He pinned its claws with one hand and, with the other, gripped its throat just as he had with Blackie the day before, slowly tightening his hold.
