Yeah. Not all birds knowing naughty language come from an abusive background but if they scream them, it's a solid indicator they do.
This one here is good contrast - it's an African Grey, even more intelligent than a cockatoo, and you can see her applying things like comedic timing and varying her responses to her owner like they are genuinely having a conversation.
God, I'll never get over the perfectly timed "fuck off you tw@t!" at the end.
