Winston Churchill's parrot, now 104 years old, is still repeating the words taught to her by her erstwhile owner.
Her favourite sayings are "F**k Hitler" and "F**k the Nazis".
Churchill bought Charlie (giving her a boy's name despite the fact she was female) in 1937. She took pride of place in a bizarre menagerie of pets including lambs, pigs, cattle, swans and at one point, a leopard.
