TOKYO (AFP) - A stray parrot was reunited with its owner in Japan after repeating his name and address at the local veterinary clinic that took it in, police said Wednesday.





In the beginning the parrot kept greeting people or singing popular children's songs, the officer said.

"Only 10 days after it was found did it start repeating a name and a street address," he added.

Police then matched the name with its owner, who was reunited with his parrot earlier this week.

"I'm glad I had taught him my address and name," the Yomiuri daily quoted him as saying.

now if only we could teach our other pets to say our name and address... I'd never have to worry about my dogs running away again ^_^

At least they have microchips now... A dog can lose a collar, but once they're chipped, they're chipped. (Yes, I know, soon you'll be able to get GPS tracking for your dogs, it's already been mentioned in the vet magazines.)
