Parakeet returned tells address

Parakeet returned tells address - Pet bird returned home after telling police its address, Piko-chan, a brainy bird owned by woman in Sagamihara, Japan, recently got loose and spent the day gallivanting around town. Fortunately for its owner, and for police who eventually gained custody of the bird, Piko-chan can talk. And one phrase it knows well is its home address—information that proved very useful for returning the woman's feathered friend.

Pet parakeet returned to Japanese owner after telling cops his address, A pet parakeet was returned to its Japanese

owner Wednesday after the brainy bird told police its home address near Tokyo.
The male bird, called Piko-chan, escaped early Sunday morning from his home in the city of Sagamihara and remained at large before being coaxed into perching on the shoulder of a guest at a nearby hotel.
He was handed over to local police, but Piko-chan did not speak until Tuesday evening, when he blurted out the names of the city and district where his owner's home is located, a police spokesman said.
The stunned cops then listened as the parakeet produced the home's block and street number.
His owner, a 64-year-old woman, once lost another parakeet after it flew away and was determined not to make the same mistake.
"So the owner decided to teach the address to this parakeet after she bought it at a pet store two years ago," a police spokesman said. "The bird's name was found to be Piko-chan as it said, 'You're pretty, Piko-chan.'"
