Lynne Taylor is accused by her neighbours in Warwick municipal court of training the bird, Willy, to say expletives.
The neighbours who have accused Taylor happen to be her ex-husband and his girlfriend, the Providence Journal reported.
In court documents, Kathleen Melker has asserted she was within earshot of Willy, when he repeatedly called her "whore".
The incident, Melker said, punctuated an acrimonious relationship with Taylor, who she claimed pelted rocks over the fence and threatened to capture her cat and "drown it in the Bay."
No charges have been filed.
Taylor -- and Willy -- are now being accused in Municipal Court of violating the city's animal-noise ordinance.
Taylor's lawyer on Thursday argued the ordinance is vague and unconstitutional; the judge denied Taylor's request to dismiss the case.
The judge has issued restraining orders telling both women to have no contact with each other.
