Lost Pet Parakeet Returned After Telling Cops its Address

[nadinbrzezinski]

Without identification tags or a microchip, it is often difficult to recover a lost cat or dog much to the distress of their loving families. Luckily for one parakeet owner in Japan, her pet parakeet cannot only speak, but he knows his own address!

The parakeet, named Piko-chan, escaped from his home in the city of Sagamihara early Sunday morning. He flew into the busy city center where he roamed free before perching himself on the shoulder of a guest at a hotel close by where he was then apprehended by the police.

Piko-chan didn’t immediately blurt out his address, though. According to a report by the New York Post, it wasn’t until Tuesday night that the bird blurted out the names of the city and the district where his owner lives.

My conures do not talk...but they are chipped.

As a favor to yourself and your pets, chip them.

And this is a nice feel good story

9. Do you call this micro-chirping?

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. LOL

No, but the parents could have found the kid faster if they just followed the tweets. (My hubby)

[summerschild]

14. Hubby's quick!

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. Yup, and he could keep 'em coming

We also have two conures, who were very clingy after the morning's small quake, so bird related jokes can be fun.

11. Very cool

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. A light story now and again...

[11 Bravo]

13. Absolutely! The day after we adopted our Rescue Lab we had her micro-chipped.

(And great story about the parakeet!)

16. What a cutie-pie!

Sweet little bird, so glad Piko-chan made it home safely

17. When I was a kid we had a parakeet that would ride on our head as we tricycled about.

Don't recall what happened to that bird, but later we had a cocateal that we tried to teach to talk. Never had any luck, but when we went on a two month vacation we gave the bird to some family friends. When we came back from vacation and visited the friends it would say hello and mention my sisters name.

18. Tuky (a cockatiel) only said his name

We miss that parrot. He died of old age.

[Aerows]

19. My cockatiel, Spencer

only ever said MY name, for some odd reason. He was a very special little guy. I had him for about 12 years.

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. Tuky died at the young age of 23

His "brother" cookie still misses him and grieved for him. Cookie is a Nanday.

21. Many years ago, I looked out the window

to see a parakeet bopping around in the snow. I had another parakeet at the time, so I brought him in and got him his own cage.

He wouldn't have lasted long in the winter.

Habirdi (Hi, birdie) lived with us for a long time.

22. Pretty and smart too

I lived in a small apartment in Denver with my parakeet Anna Purna. When I had guests they had to sleep in the living room. One night a friend had to get up to go to the bathroom; when he heard Whatcha doin' pretty boy?" he about jumped out the window.

[stuntcat]

23. Wow!!

Hah, very very cool!

[xchrom]

24. Cool! Nt

25. Not sure but I think my partner had me chipped

after one too many olives one night.
