Charlie (parrot)
Charlie (allegedly hatched ), also known as Charlie the Curser, is a female blue-and-yellow macaw living in a pet sanctuary in Reigate, Surrey, United Kingdom. Charlie became famous when ''The Daily Mirror'' published an article about her in January 2004.
The bird's owner claims Charlie is over 100 years old.
==Claimed association with Churchill==
The owner also claims that Charlie was the property of Sir Winston Churchill while he was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during World War II. He claims that his father-in-law sold the parrot to Churchill in 1937 and then reclaimed the bird shortly after Churchill's death in 1965. According to his stories, the vocal bird was taught by Churchill to shout curses at Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, to the chagrin of officials within the British government.
His claims have been solidly rejected by the administrators of the Chartwell property, Churchill's former country home, who have no record of any parrot. Further, Churchill's daughter, Lady Soames, has denied her father ever owned a macaw. According to Soames, Churchill did own an African grey parrot named Polly, but sold the bird before assuming the role of Prime Minister.
