Bye bye, birdie

Parrot Last week a colleague and I told you about a parrot poacher who almost got electrocuted while trying to steal baby birds from their nests.

Well, don't say we only print negative news. Nothing but good vibes are coming out of Tokyo today, where a lost parrot has been reunited with his family -- because he was able to recite his address to a veterinarian.

Yosuke (left), an African gray parrot, flew out of his cage and got lost. But when a good Samaritan took him to a shelter, Yosuke told rescuers his name and address -- as his owners taught him -- and they found his home.
