Forget microchips; a lost African grey parrot talked his way home after escaping from his owner’s house in Japan and getting lost. The wayward bird was plucked from a neighbor’s roof, and initially taken to the police station, giving the cops the silent treatment. The next day, the caged bird sang for the local veterinarian, reciting his full name of Yosuke Nakamura and his complete street address. Authorities checked out the location, and discovered that Yosuke’s story wasn’t a feathered flight of fancy after all. His family stated that they had been teaching the chatty parrot to recite his name and address, just in case he ever flew the coop. While everyone was glad to see Yosuke reunited with his family, the police were wondering what the flock was up with the bird refusing to talk with them first. One officer stated that he tried to be friendly, but the misplaced grey ignored him. Hey, it could have been worse–the parrot could have popped off with “Cop wanna donut?”
