George, an African Grey parrot told a man who tried to rescue it from a busy road to "b***er off" before pecking him wildly.
The Good Samaritan finally managed to get the abusive bird into his car and took him to a nearby vet, where the parrot attacked the staff with its sharp claws.
Hayley Thompson, the veterinary nurse said that the parrot was very grumpy and refused to accept help by constantly lashing out at them, the Mirror reported.
The parrot was spotted wandering in the traffic at Guiseley, West Yorks, after escaping through an open window from its owner Ben Homer's home in Leeds.
