TOKYO - 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.

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.

:giggle:
 
That's cute. I guess the training of teaching the parrot to recite it's name and the address for 2 years has actually paid off! :)
 
That is amazing. This smart parrot is very lucky to be reunited to original owners. :)
 
Clever parrot! Would love a talking bird, but then I couldn't understand them due to them having no lips to speak of!
 
One time, my friend in high school found a stray parrot in her backyard. She kept it. When no one claimed it, she adopted it. Strangely, the parrot only spoke Spanish. :lol:
 
Awesome, so that training with name and address really has paid off for sure! I'm sure the owner of the bird will be really glad to see that bird again.
