Hello, I'm Mr. Yosuke Nakamura . . . Now Take Me Home!

May 21 2008 - 12:30pm

Forget "ringing" like a cell phone [1] — this bird has even more amazing things come out of his mouth. When the African grey parrot was found and rescued two weeks ago in Nagareyama, Japan [2], the officials promptly brought him into the police station and were about to start the interrogation process. Turns out this bird was just not talking . . . hey, maybe he was waiting for his lawyer! What happened next? Find out when you .

After leaving the parrot in this cell cage for a night, they transferred it to a nearby vet hospital hoping they could care for the bird and begin searching for clues about his family. Suddenly the parrot became a regular chatterbox, telling the veterinarian "I'm Mr. Yosuke Nakamura," and provided his full home address — even street number! — and sang songs to entertain the hospital staff. In a totally happy ending, the address checked out, and the wordy birdy [3] was returned to the Nakamuras! The family began teaching Yosuke his name and address about two years ago — makes a lot of sense when birds don't often have ID tags [4] or microchips [5] standardly embedded!
