"I'm pretty sure it says 'f**k me,'" Nick told CTV Vancouver Island a few days after the holiday.
Sarah also claimed to hear the toy mutter a curse word; however, their little boy is still young, and he loves the animal so much that they have no intention of returning it.
The parents shared a YouTube video of the animal speaking gibberish, and while the first word isn't entirely clear, the second sounds like it is saying "me".
A spokesperson for Spin Master, the company that produces the toy, told Daily Mail Online that the creatures do not curse.
"Hatchimals communicate by speaking their own unique language, which is made of up of random sounds, and by making other noises, including shivering when they're cold and snoring while they sleep," the company said in a statement.
"We can assure consumers that Hatchimals do not curse, nor do they use foul language."
The bird-like creatures come encased in synthetic eggs that they break out of when they are being held.
The toys make noise and light-up while hatching and after they completely break free from their eggs, their owners can watch them learn how to walk and talk.
The Galegos' video has racked up more than 325,000 views since Christmas; however, some viewers commented that the toy sounds like it is saying 'hug me'.
Sarah returned to YouTube with response video explaining her side of the story.
"I don't expect everyone to hear it as clearly as I do, but when you are there in person, it's pretty obvious," says in the clip. "And not to mention while it is hatching, it says that phrase at least 100 to 200 times."
Kelsey Rawson also shared a YouTube video of a "swearing Hatchimal" but once again people either agreed that it sounded like 'f**k me' or deduced that it was saying "hug me" or "hold me".
Despite the ongoing debate, many agreed that the toy is a little disturbing.
"I can't really tell if it's swearing or not, but that heavy breathing is totally creeping me out!" a woman named Janina wrote.
Hatchimals were the most sought-after toy this holiday season, and after the interactive egg flew off shelves at stores across the country, parents turned to online reselling markets where the toy was being sold for up to $300.
However, the toy may not be all that it is cracked up to be. Earlier this week furious parents took to social media to complain after a suspected 'mass fault' led to many of the toys failing to "hatch" on Christmas morning.
Some said they had tried to "rub" their toys for hours without any sign of "hatching" while others had to manually hatch the toys.
"Dear Customers, we are sorry to hear that some of you are having challenges with your Hatchimals," the company wrote on Facebook.
"The first step to note is that the plastic 'locks' located underneath the egg need to be turned 90 degrees and pulled out from underneath to activate the hatching process.
"With toys that incorporate a high level of technology, there are rare cases where the product may malfunction or become damaged during shipping.
"While the majority of people have had a positive experience, we have heard from consumers who have faced challenges."
