Lost Parrot Knows Own Address!

By Alex in Animal on May 21, 2008 at 4:40 pm


When Yosuke the parrot flew his coop and got lost, he found his way back home by telling people his home address. (But not to the cops – This parrot is no stool pigeon!)

"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.
