Lost parrot tells veterinarian his address

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.

1. amazing!

I'm expecting all the doubters to chime up now, but as a parrot owner, I am not surprised - our bird is one of the smartest animals in the house, including us.

2. Greys can easily learn names, addresses, phone numbers

The cops probably didn't allow him to call his lawyer, so he kept his beak shut.
