Lost parrot gives vet his name and address
http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapc....ap/index.html
TOKYO, Japan (AP) -- When Yosuke the parrot flew out of his cage and got lost, he did exactly what he had been taught -- recite his name and address to a stranger willing to help. Lost in Tokyo, Yosuke the parrot was able to give his name and address to get taken home. Police rescued the African grey parrot two weeks ago from a neighbor's roof in the city of Nagareyama, near Tokyo. After spending a night at the station, he was transferred to a nearby veterinary hospital while police searched for clues, local policeman Shinjiro Uemura said. He kept mum with the cops, but began chatting after a few days with the vet. "I'm Mr. Yosuke Nakamura," the bird told the veterinarian, according to Uemura. The parrot also provided his full home address, down to the street number, and even entertained the hospital staff by singing songs. "We checked the address, and what do you know, a Nakamura family really lived there. So we told them we've found Yosuke," Uemura said. The Nakamura family told police they had been teaching the bird its name and address for about two years. But Yosuke apparently wasn't keen on opening up to police officials. "I tried to be friendly and talked to him, but he completely ignored me," Uemura said. at the bird not talking to the cops. |

The parrot may have been a drug mule with a belly full of heroin. Add that to the story - along with a few whimsical songs from Christine McVie (retired musicians eventually score movies) - and you've got a fine Pixar/Disney blockbuster.

What's even more amusing to me is the parrot learned how to speak Japanese! Just think, birds can speak multiple human languages! I would have never thunk it!!
