雙語新聞:日本鸚鵡迷路 自報姓名住址順利返家

　　鸚鵡會說話並不稀奇，但是能在關鍵時候與人交談進行自救的鸚鵡就顯得不同尋常了。日本一隻名叫餘佑的鸚鵡在「迷路」後就順利找回了家，因為它準確地報出了自己的姓名和家庭地址!

　　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.
