Stray parakeet tells Japanese police where he lives
Baku, May 3 (AZERTAC). A pet parakeet was returned to its owner Wednesday after the lost bird told police its home address near Tokyo.
The male bird had escaped early Sunday morning from its owner`s home in the city of Sagamihara, west of Tokyo, and remained at large before perching on the shoulder of a guest staying in a nearby hotel.
Handed over to local police, the bird did not speak until Tuesday evening, when it blurted out the names of the city and district where its owner`s house is located, said a spokesman for the north Sagamihara police station.
It then produced the home`s block and street number as a trio of astonished police officers listened to the now talkative bird.
The bird`s owner, a 64-year-old woman, once lost another parakeet after it flew away and was determined to prevent a repeat, the spokesman told AFP.
"So the owner decided to teach the address to this parakeet after she bought it at a pet shop two years ago," he said.
"The bird`s name was found to be Piko-chan as it said, `You`re pretty, Piko-chan`."
