Well fact may indeed be stranger than urban legend. It just might be true.
Listen to the interview on BBC Radio 4 with the parrot�s current owner, who says his father in law owned a pet shop before the war from where Churchill bought several parrots. He says that when Churchill died they went down to the estate and bought all the remaining parrots � including this one.

Absolute Hogwash. Churchill never had a parrot and there is no way that the war rooms would have tolerated a foul mouthed one at that. Remember - most of the employees were women during WWII.
Someone should have checked with Urban Legends.
