Rhode Island Parrot's R-Rated Rants Seek New Home

Hendrix, a 20-year-old parrot from Rhode Island, is up for adoption, blending a malnutrition-induced baldness with a vocabulary that rivals a sailor's. The Forever Paws Animal Shelter warns potential adopters: 'If you adopt Hendrix, you're basically adopting Samuel L. Jackson.'
Despite his R-rated rants, Hendrix has attracted over 50 adoption applications. The shelter emphasizes the need for a humor-loving home, noting, 'This bird is rated R, parental advisory required, a real sour patch kid if one side was sugar and the other side was arsenic.'
Hendrix's unique combination of a featherless physique and profane parlance has made him an unexpected social media sensation, highlighting the quirky challenges of parrot adoption.
